2. We need to do a Site Inspection. A representative from OSAS will come out to inspect the property where the horse will be staying. Every time the horse moves to another location, we require that a site inspection be done. Guidelines for site inspections can be viewed here.

3. Once your application has been received in the office, and approved, a representative will contact you and will forward you information about the horses in foster care. References will also be checked.

4. You can go out and meet our horses in Foster Care. Remember to be courteous to our Foster Parents as they are being generous to volunteer their own time to help expose the horses in their care to prospective adoptive families. Please remember if you are riding the horses to wear an approved riding helmet. A waiver must be signed before you ride.

If you decide to adopt one of our Standardbreds:

1. We need to have a Placement Agreement signed and sent back to the office either by fax or mail.
2. Shipping is the responsibility of the new adoptive family.
3. A guardian will be assigned to your horse and will follow up with you within six months of the horse being adopted. Their duty is to make sure the horse is in good condition and that the home is still suitable. They are available to answer any questions you may have.
