Meet the Equine Outreach Herd
Companion Horses
Do you have a lonely horse at home who would like a companion horse? Do you have an empty pasture that could use one of these beauties? These horses are very special to us, and we would love to see them go to forever homes where they can live out the rest of their days at ease. They truly deserve it. They cannot be ridden due to their age and/or medical issues, and they should only be viewed friends or pets versus working horses.
The adoption fee is $500. This includes the $25 adoption application fee. We make every effort to have adopted horses be up-to-date on their vaccinations, worming, and farrier work.
For details on how to adopt any of these horses, please see our Adoption Process.

Black Pearl has been patiently waiting for someone to take her home; she has been at Equine Outreach since she was a foal. Black Pearl is halter broke and extremely sweet. She has Wobbler Syndrome, so she isn’t a candidate for riding, but she'd make another horse a wonderful friend and companion.

Casino is a registered Thoroughbred and she has a racing record with the Jockey Club, but she can no longer be ridden. She loves people and is always friendly and curious. Casino will hang her head over her gate until you give her some loving. She loves getting groomed, walked, and training in the arena on groundwork.
Mare
Quarter Horse
23 years old
Lari is a senior mare surrendered to us in mid-2023. Lari was originally rescued from unfortunate circumstances by a good hearted woman, who has since sadly passed away. Lari is curious, friendly, and quite vocal! Lari is also known at the rescue as "Ania's horse," in honor of Ania Wise of California, a woman who had a passion for horses and a life driven by her desire to love big. The sum of donations received in Ania's honor were enough for us to rescue and care for Lari for over a year. We are still getting to know Lari and the kind of home that will be best for her, but by all accounts she would make a very sweet companion horse.

Paige is friendly and welcoming to humans. A solid partner could bring her a long way. She needs someone who can provide consistency to work with her and bring her to her full potential. She is relaxed, curious, and does well with her small herd.

BonBon is as sweet as can be and has fantastic ground manners. She has a lip tattoo, indicating that she was a racehorse and was seized from a large racehorse scam in Oregon. Thankfully, her racing days are over now. Due to her age and trauma in her background from previous owners, BonBon is no longer rideable. She makes great company and enjoys quiet time and rolling around and napping in the pasture.

Harmony came in without much information, but she is friendly and gentle. She has a neurological condition that she has been treated for and now stands with her rear legs out. She is easy going (although often likes to be the alpha) and would make a wonderful companion for your horse or yourself.
Mare
Quarter Horse/Morgan Cross
Late 20s
Maisie came to us from a home where she unfortunately could no longer be cared for. She is a little timid, but easy to handle and wants to please. Maisie is potentially capable of light trail rides, but due to her age, would need to be formally evaluated further. She would make a gentle, loving companion!
Gelding
28 years old
Patch is a handsome senior paint gelding. He was taken in by a kind family who knew he had few other options at his age. Unfortunately the family's circumstances had unexpectedly changed and he was surrendered to us in mid-2023. We are still getting to know Patch, but he is settling in well and proving to be very friendly and gentle. He requires a full mash diet and would make an excellent companion horse for anyone willing to devote a little additional care and love in his senior years.

Mr. Blue would be so happy to have his own person. He loves attention, is very calm, and has impeccable ground manners. He used to move out on the trail, but was not “hot” or “ill-behaved.” Blue stands quietly and nicely to be haltered and saddled. However, due to his age, he isn't a candidate for the riding anymore. But, he would make a wonderful companion horse.
Mare
Mustang
25 years old
Java was rescued from Warm Springs by EOI many years ago. She was successfully adopted, but returned to EOI in 2023 sadly due to the passing of her wonderful adopter. We have been told Java is slow to
trust so until we understand her more, we are being
quiet and gentle with her and taking her cues.

Maggie is a registered Quarter Horse who has been diagnosed with Wobbler Syndrome. She has a super sweet personality, and is very people friendly. Maggie adores attention, so she would appreciate a home where someone would care for her and make her feel extra special.

Sassy is a sweet and lovable horse who is always curious and eager to make new friends. Due to her abusive background, she needs a lot of gentle kindness and cannot be confined to small spaces. She needs someone with patience and no agenda.
Prospect Horses
Prospect horses are physically sound, have had some groundwork training, and may have been trained to accept a saddle, bridle, and/or rider. But they need a tune-up and additional time with a trainer to become confident and reliable riding horses. Equine Outreach makes no guarantee of a horse's level of training or soundness.
The adoption fee is $500. This fee includes the $25 adoption application fee. We strongly recommend that you have the horse independently vet checked and evaluated by your trainer, especially if you have limited training experience. We make every effort to have adopted horses be up-to-date on their vaccinations, worming and farrier work.

Arabian/Quarter Horse

Mocha joined the herd in February 2022. He is gentle, easy to halter and walk, and has trail riding experience. Mocha was the only horse for the past two years with his previous owner, so introducing him to others takes some time and patience. He gets anxious if he is bonded to another horse and that horse is taken out. He has been given clearance by our vet to be ridden again and needs a re-start to get back in shape.

Toby is as sweet as can be, an old soul. He is considered the greeter at the ranch as he likes to roam around and see everyone. He frequently stands by the front gate to welcome volunteers as they arrive. Toby is "Grandpa" to little Nala as they are a bonded pair. He is a little creaky in his hind end as he has some old injuries in his hips and loves a good brushing.
