LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society

LongRun generally has over thirty horses in our foster care program that are awaiting adoption into a safe, kind and loving home.

These horses have varying levels of athletic ability and individual personalities – we try to match you up with a horse best suited to your requirements.

The Procedure

Complete and submit the Adoption Form.
LongRun's Adoption Coordinator will contact you within a week of receiving your submission.
You and the Adoption Coordinator will determine the horse that is best suited to your needs.
An appointment will be made with the farm currently fostering the horse at which time you will view and meet the horse.
A LongRun representative will inspect the horse's new home.
Once we receive a positive farm inspection report and reference check, the process is almost complete.*
I understand and agree that as a potential adopter I might be subjected to a credit check by LongRun.
A $750.00 adoption fee is required for a sound, rideable horse.
Companion animals are $1.00 but still require a dedicated, knowledgeable adopter and a high level of comfort and care.
After payment is made, you will read and sign our standard Adoption Agreement. This agreement is written solely for the protection of the animal.
On receipt of a signed agreement and payment of the adoption fee the horse is yours to take home.
After a successful standard two year follow-up period, full ownership will be signed over to you.

*Consider this adoption very carefully – we want this to be a permanent home for one of our deserving thoroughbreds.
