As an equine rescue and adoption organization, there is nothing more rewarding than placing rescued horses in homes which are the best they can possibly be for both horse and human. That is our primary goal.
Horse Haven Montana was established in late summer 2007 and within three months, we had three wonderful horses ready for adoption to good homes. As of the 2008 New Year, all three had been adopted into wonderful and hopefully forever homes with humans who understood the horses’ individual needs and limitations. One was eventually returned to us, when the owners were transferred to Alaska but we keep in touch with the adoptive homes and with most reports we have received, it reassures us that horse and human have found their perfect match.
As of the end of 2010, so officially starting with January 2011, Horse Haven Montana is now a 501c3 Not-For- Profit Organization recognized by the IRS as a charitable organization. We hope that approval of our non profit tax status will now enable us to be even more effective with more resources, grants and donations, acting as a charitable organization.
Horse Haven Montana can now officially accept charitable donations and provide our donors with a tax deduction for their charitable donation. We can also accept foundation grants, hold fundraising events and put more resources into our rescue and adoption as well as educational outreach efforts.
Please note, if you have a horse or know of someone with a horse that needs a new, forever home, don't hesitate to contact us. We will do our best to give you an honest assessment of our ability to find your horse a home or what the right kind of forever home might be. We can almost always find a horse a good home or at least we'll try - from untrained fillies (though difficult) to senior geldings, there is almost always a good match waiting with time, patience, and caring. We'll do our best to help. Remember too, if you have anything relevant to horse care that you can donate such as hay, tack, veterinary services or anything that would be of assistance in these efforts, we welcome your support. Our 501c3 not profit tax status has now been approved by the IRS and we can accept charitable donations. But the horses we help and the people we work with don't really know the difference! :) Thank you!

HORSES FOR ADOPTION - Current List as of Summer 2011
At present, we are assessing several horses and will be seeking adoptive homes for these horses soon; each with his or her own unique attributes and characteristics.
Each equine requires a different kind of adopter or rider but we are always amazed at how unique and special each horse truly is. Key to adoption and horse ownership in general is matching the right horse to the right person.
Please read about each one carefully and think about if and who might be a good fit for you, your needs and your goals and interests in owning a horse.
In most cases, we will have photos or video of each horse so please feel free to email us if you are interested in a particular horse and we will be happy to send additional photos and information by email. We will try to respond as quickly as possible.
Please understand always, that our goal and mission is to find the best possible home for each horse and to determine the best possible match between horse and human.
If you want a child’s horse, a youth horse, a pasture mate, a trail buddy, a therapeutic riding horse, even a show horse, we are always amazed at the diversity of each horse we have available for adoption. It's all about the "connection" and what's best for each horse and every potential adopter.
At present, we have only one horse for adoption:
"Bits" is a Palomino mare who has been started under saddle but considered "green broke." She would need to be picked up in Lewiston, Idaho. We have not assessed her personally but she is described as gentle and sweet, but a horse who can hold her own in a herd. She is about 7 years old. The good news is, many horses have been adopted over the past several months; others we are working with their owners or foster families to get them healthy and taken care of with their basic needs. Sadly, we know that many more will be in need of new homes soon. Currently we are assessing several horses and hope to have news about their availability soon.

Testimonials from several recent adoptions:
"I've been meaning to send you a note for some time but just getting to it now. Tobie is doing wonderfully. I've probably ridden him over 50 times this summer and have not had any bad experiences. He's become a very willing trail horse and will lead or follow. He's fun to be around as he loves people and being handled."
"Thank you so much for being the "middle woman" in bringing this mare into our lives. She'll be great for Autumns confidence. She is very responsive to Autumn and knows her job and does it! She's very charming as well!"
"Thanks, thanks and thanks again. I picked Maggie up on Tuesday, rode her on Wednesday. She has adopted me! I have a true testimony of a perfect horse person for a perfect MS person. Thanks for all you did for me, I am delighted."
Please note: Your adoption donations help to keep our program going and are invested right back into the costs involved in rescue including daily care, retraining, advertising, feed, travel, transport and veterinary services for rescues and adoptions. We are also feel that a requested donation conveys the importance of making a responsible financial, moral and humane commitment to each animal. This also further helps to ensure that the equine is not taken to auction or sold at slaughter, which is against our philosophy, mission and purpose. Thank you for your understanding!
