Take a look at the beautiful horses available for adoption. If you'd like more information about a horse to adopt, please contact us at debbie@fourcornersequinerescue.org.
You can also check out the horses in Rehab and see if there is a special horse that catches your eye there. If so, please feel free to email us with questions as to how the rehab is progressing and when we think the horse will be available for adoption.
You can help us support these horses by donating or sponsoring! It costs money to bring these horses back to good health and prepare them for a new home. We appreciate your kindness and generosity!
Please note that the horses that are fostered are still available for adoption.

But her adopters situation changed and Mickey came back to FCER. She halters, leads, loads and stands for the farrier. Mickey has just had her first ride. The perfect home for her would be with a person using Natural Horsemanship techniques to continue her training. UTD on vaccinations, deworming and hoof care.
