FAQs

How do you choose what horses to buy?

We don't do the choosing so much, as the circumstances do. At auctions, we will never bid against a home. We only pull the horses that are being bought for meat.

How do decide their adoption fees?

We take into account our costs, our expenses, and we do our best to recoup these.

This keeps our finances replenished so we are not constantly asking for contributions.

We also feel every horse does have value, so should be priced at/close to Fair Market Value.

Doing this allows us to continue to help the horses that need

vetting
gelding
humane/compassionate euthanizing

and all the other expenses that come with saving horses.

Do you allow off site fostering?

At this point, no. We've encountered too many problems we didn't foresee, so for now we feel this isn't an option for us.

Do we allow initial buyers to resell?

We like to keep an eye on the horses that come through us, but we also understand not every situation stays ideal.

We'd like first right of refusal, which is in your adoption contract, we are easy to work with.

Just keep us in the loop!

Do you offer tax receipts?

As we are not a registered charity, HHA does not offer tax receipts. This may change in the near future!
