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!
