How much does it cost to adopt a horse from AERO?
Adoption fees vary widely based on the horses capability, age and special care needs. Although AERO adoption fees are often lower than if a horse were purchased from a regular seller be aware that this does not make an AERO horse a cheaper horse to obtain. Often AERO horses will continue to need special care all their lives even when they are sound. Also, regardless of how you obtain a horse the actual care of the horse is always more expensive than the initial purchase price.
