PRIMARY MISSION

Second Wind Adoption Program

Prevent animal abuse/neglect of all the equus species and the need for rescue through adoption, there by being a catalyst for “Rescue Prevention” by placing horses into quality homes before the need arises for rescue or intervention by authorities.

Whenever possible, provide all horses (everyone in the equine family) including race, show, eventing, fox hunting, steeplechase, contest & working horses, polo ponies or any other sport or endurance horse an easy transition to a second career and give owners in every facet of the horse industry and private owners a viable, safe place for their horses to go and a more humane place than a bad home, selling the horse to just anyone or slaughter.

Offer educational and support services to horse owners/donors and adopters (transportation, foster homes, training, follow up, lessons and clinics for adopters). 

Offer adopters training services (lessons, clinics, training of their adopted horses, continued follow-up to insure continued success with their adoption horse, and organized trips to regional, state and national horse events that can be both educational and fun).

Whenever financially and physically possible, provide horses in the Adoption Program ground and under saddle training to insure every chance for success in their next home. Provide horses that are in need, the required vet care and rest and rehab needed to get better and find companion horses or horses that can no longer be ridden or driven a safe and loving home for the rest of their lives.

Give people that might not normally have a lot of up front money to buy a trained horse but can afford the daily care of a horse have the opportunity to adopt and experience the joys of horse ownership and for kids to be able to grow up with horses and learn responsibility, dedication and the satisfaction to a job well done and to offer people, individuals, families and kids opportunities that can be both educational and fun but additionally that gives families and friends something that they can experience together that is good for the body, mind and spirit.

When possible, support equine and animal rescue in times of natural disasters.

When possible, support state and local officials with abuse cases by being the expert in care and conditioning of the equine and by giving them a place to send horses that are taken from owners for abuse or neglect.

When possible, as a secondary mission, support other equine and small animal adoptions and programs. Support all rescue and adoption programs in order to offer a more educated, well-managed, unified approach to animal welfare.
