				Rehoming:
Our organization has the following re-homing (adoption/purchase) policies and procedures in place: 
	    All potential adopters/purchasers complete a written contract which constitutes the agreement between our organization and the new owner
    Our organization will only re-home an equine to a location where another equine resides
    Potential adopters/purchasers must visit our organization and be observed with the equine on site
    The distance of a potential adopter/purchaser's home from our facility is a consideration for when re-homing an equine
    Our organization conducts a site visit of the adopter/purchaser's facility before the transfer of the equine to the adopter/purchaser's facility
    The agreement reflects that any individual or organization in possession of the equine as of the date of the agreement and any time thereafter is bound to not sell the equine at auction for slaughter or allow the equine to be sold, transferred, released, or otherwise placed into possession of any person or organization that will cause or allow the equine to be sold at auction for slaughter.
    
    The agreement states that should the adopter decide to re-home the equine, our organization must grant approval of any individual or organization intending to take possession of the equine for any reason prior to the equine being placed into the possession of such individual or organization, including being provided written notification of the name, address, and telephone number of any individual or organization intending to take possession of the equine for any reason.
    The agreement states that the terms of our organization's agreement will be binding on any future individual or organization taking and/or in possession of the equine for any reason.
    The agreement states that re-homed equines cannot be bred
    The agreement states that if there is any breach of contract the equine must be returned to our organization
    The agreement states that our organization reserves the right to make scheduled visits
    The agreement states that adopters/purchasers can return an equine to our organization free of charge
Our organization requires references from the following:
	    Veterinarian
    Farrier
    Personal/Other
Transfer of ownership occurs:
			  Immediately (at the time of adoption/purchase) or less than one year
The average equine re-homing (adoption/purchase) fee received by your organization:

			Additional information about our rehoming policies and practices:
Adoption Guidelines:
Since all adoptions require a farm visit, we only adopt out within about a three hour radius from Dorset, VT. We ask that potential adopters do a map check from their property to Dorset, VT to see if within that range. This range is a little flexible, but not by much.
Each horse we adopt out must have an equine companion at their new home to be turned out with. Horses are herd animals and are happiest with a buddy.
The horse must have access to a clean three sided run-in shed or stall 24/7, blocking the prevailing winds and protecting them from the weather.
The horse must always have access to a clean water trough that is heated in the winter.
We require the adopted horse stay up to date on these basic vaccines: Eastern/Western Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rabies, Influenza and Rhino.
We require that the adopted horse stays up to date with regular feet trimming (6-10 weeks depending on the time of year), deworming (minimum of 4 times per year), and annual dental care.
The adopted horse must have a minimum of 8 hours of turn out daily.
The adopted horse must have a minimum of 1 acre of pasture for a full size horse(s) and a minimum of ¼ acre for a miniature horse(s).
Although it is not required, we do encourage all perspective adopters to have their own vet do a pre-purchase exam.
