Are there any specific requirements for adopting a horse?
Yes. All adopters are required to sign a 3-year contract. The first year requires adopters to send quarterly updates and photos; annual updates are to follow. Adopters are also required to allow random visits and photographs by TROT representatives. Please note that if the horse is found to be either in poor condition or living in a squalid environment, TROT retains the right to repossess the horse without notice. It is also agreed that the adopted horses will never be sent to an auction or slaughter facility. Even though there are no open facilities currently in the United States, horses are being shipped to Mexico and Canada for slaughter after being run through auctions. Please be aware that TROT horses will be closely monitored to assure they never meet this fate. Please see Adoption & Fostering for more information.
