Coming soon!
These horses are either newly arrived or on their way. Coming Soon means they are still settling in, or are in the early stages of their evaluation and transition. We take the time to get to know each horse—learning about their personalities, movement, and preferences—so we can best support their journey to a new career. While they may not be ready for adoption just yet, we’re excited about what’s ahead for them. Keep an eye on this space as we continue our assessments and share updates along the way!
Secretariat Center Graduates For Sale
We occasionally have wonderful horses available who are seeking their next perfect match. These horses have been part of our program, adopted before, and are now ready for a new chapter in their journey.
If you're looking for a horse with some experience and training—less "green" and more ready to partner—this is a great place to start. We’re committed to ensuring every horse finds the right home, so if one of these horses catches your eye, feel free to reach out to learn more about them at programs@secretariatcenter.org
