Rescued horses, after being gently cared for, brought back to health, evaluated for soundness, manners and overall adoptability are then listed here as being ready for adoption. Care is taken to describe each horse as to his or her best-suited home life. Some horses are easily ridden while others may be best suited as barn buddies. Others can be adopted but need additional training to become true pleasure or even great show horses. Take your time as you browse through the photos and descriptions of all these wonderful animals.
Recently rescued equines are listed at the end of the adoptable horses’ list. Their adoptability is yet to be determined and will be updated as additional information is available. To obtain additional information, please submit an adoption application. (See applications\adoption applications.) Thank you for considering an HWH equine.
Adoption fees shown may increase as the equine receives additional training.
LILY
Lily has striking coloring. Her gorgeous sorrel and white coat and pretty face markings attract immediate attention from everyone. She certainly would stand out on a trail ride, which is her favorite thing to do. Lily did well on the obstacle course and under saddle and is pretty used to riding on various terrains. If you’re an advanced beginner or intermediate rider, she may be perfect for you. Lily’s adoption fee is $4,000 and may increase with additional training. Come see her now.

TILLY (aka Betty White)
Tilly is a star! She was so good on the obstacle course during the Rescue Makeover Challenge that she won the Senior Advanced In-Hand class, as well as the Reserve Champion award for Best Turnout!

I am very willing and sweet, especially to someone who spends time with me. I have joined-up with my trainer and he has also had me successfully go through the obstacle course. Are you the one for me? If you’re looking for a horse that loves Liberty work, I’m your girl! I’ve been started under saddle, am both beautiful and smart, and can easily learn all the tricks you want to teach me! Are you the calm and confident human who will teach me some fun tricks? I can be a superstar! And my adoption fee is only $2,000!
MAY MAY
Although I’m only a year old, I am looking forward to growing up with a wonderful human. Since I’m a Paso Fino, I may be a gaited horse when I get older. Time will tell. Are you looking for a young horse to start? I might be your answer. For $1,000 you can bring me home.
PUMPKIN
My name and color are perfect for Halloween! Just like a pumpkin, I’m round and smooth and almost orange. Although I wouldn’t make a good pie and don’t want to be carved, I would love a person of my own. Although I’m a big boy, I’m only 10 and am already doing groundwork. My possible Belgian background might also make me good for driving. What would you like me to do for you? You can adopt me for $2,000.
ABENA
Abena is a four-year-old Paso Fino mare. At about 14 hands, she would make an excellent horse for a small person or a teen once she is trained. Here’s a clean slate to work with. You can adopt her for $1,000 and make her your project horse.
PEARL
You may have read about Pearl on the HWH Facebook page. She came to us with a large ovarian tumor that has since been removed. A registered Arabian beauty of rare breeding, she has the potential for many disciplines. An experienced rider can go a long way on this 12-year-old mare. Pearl has received groundwork and lunge training and will soon be started under saddle. She is an easy keeper and would be a great endurance horse. Her $5,500 adoption fee will increase along with her training.
SWEET PEA
A cutie that has earned her name, Paso Fino Sweet Pea is both lovely and sweet. This yearling filly has a curious personality and will make someone a wonderful partner. Adopt her for $1,000 and train her the way you like.
NOVA
At 12.3 hands, small but mighty Nova would be a great driving or riding pony. Her unusual brown and white paint coloring make her unique and flashy. Nova is currently doing groundwork in preparation for a chosen career. Her $2,000 adoption fee is a bargain.
STELLA
Many people have been following Stella on the HWH Facebook page. Although Stella is not available for adoption at this time, we loved this picture of her so we are posting it for all to see.
DANCER
ADOPTION PENDING: Dancer already had three months of training as a barrel racer before coming to HWH. But this seven-year-old registered Thoroughbred mare has the potential for other careers as well. Both beautiful and sweet, she loves being petted. Her $3,000 adoption fee will increase with additional training.
STARLIGHT
Beautiful ten-year-old Starlight has an intelligent and willing personality. At 15.3 hands tall, she is a perfect size for anyone and any career.

BLONDIE
BLONDIE – Blondie is a senior mare who is as sweet as they come. She would make a wonderful pasture companion for a family to love. Because of her age, we do not recommend her as a riding partner. Adoption fee $1,000.
DINERO
Adoption fee $1,000.
JASPER
Bay gelding Jasper has been ridden under saddle and would make a good trail horse. At age 15, he is used to lots of sights and sounds. For $2,000 you can take him out and enjoy a nice trail ride with your friends.
ELVIS
Elvis is an extremely handsome Saddlebred gelding who could have a bright future as a jumper. He is renowned here at the ranch for his ability to jump over his three-board fence to the next pasture. He never goes anywhere. But he’s so smart that when he sees you coming, he jumps back into the original pasture and looks at you as if to say, “Who, me? It wasn’t me you saw out there”. At 15.2 hands and under the right rider, he could probably be a super jumper! He is very agreeable and will make someone a wonderful partner. Elvis’ adoption fee is $2,000.
GRACE
Quarter horse Grace is a pretty 16-year-old mare that is 14.2 hands tall. She is always sweet to the other horses and does well in a herd. Grace is doing groundwork training and will soon be started under saddle. She is a steal at $1,500.

SONIC
BRAVEHEART
BRAVEHEART – Adoption pending – If you’re looking for unusual coloring, Braveheart is your guy! This gorgeous black and white paint gelding will stand out in any crowd!

Consider adopting him now and putting him in training to make the perfect horse for you!
CHOCO
Choco is a beautiful Standardbred gelding. Choco was on a property that was sold and the horses needed to be removed. He was placed with us to find him a loving home. We can share a video of him working in long lines and he appeared in our performance Spirit of the Horse in December at The Oaks of Lake City Equestrian Center. Choco has a lovely trot and canter on the lunge line and will be evaluated under saddle very soon. Choco is not tattooed so it is unlikely that there is any history of racing. He is such a good guy, he even represented HWH at the Christmas parade in Bell, Fl. With training, he will succeed in any direction his person chooses.
