Foster Horse and Horse Retirement Home
The Wooden Horseshoe Ranch accepts horses as part of foster care as the owners maybe going through a difficult time or unexpected events where they need assistance caring for the horses. We can take them in a care for them here or attend to them at your place. We also take in horses as they await adoption or training through the MN Hooved Animal Rescue. The MN Hooved Animal Rescue continuously receives horses from the state and individuals on neglected, mistreated and unwanted horses. As these horses are evaluated and treated, they need a place to go while awaiting training and adoptions. The Wooden Horseshoe Ranch would be an option as the rescue needs to open room for other incoming cases.
The Horse Retirement home is for horses that can no longer ride, perform or compete due to their age. We are connected through various online communities where many owners cannot support the horse and are not desirable to be purchased. Instead of being killed or recycled for no reason, we would give them a place where they can still socialize with other horses, meet people and have connections in their later years as part of the Healing Horse Therapy (older horses are usually more tolerable of changes) or with the Youth Camp (being pampered by kids is most horse’s dreams come true).
There is no charge for this service. We request a donation for hay, transportation, and initial care, but it is not required.
Please contact us if you have a horse(s) you wish to join our community.
