​We have a Right Horse, Right Match guarantee.
The horse comes back to HOP if things don't work out.
If you or your child outgrow your horse, no worries. If you’ve been a great adopter,
you can rest assured your horse comes back to HOP,
and you are welcome to adopt a better fit.
If you your income changes or your health declines, you never have to worry about what will happen to your adopted horse.
Your horse comes back to Heart of Phoenix, and you know he will be safe moving forward.
The horses come with up front and very honest assessments.
​
-
Adoption Agreement - Read over this adoption agreement, so you understand how the HOP contract works (HOP retains a lifetime first-right of refusal and contractual agreement on all adopted horses)
​​​
​
Understand we are processing many applications at all times. Sometimes this means even if you are approved, the horse you’re interested in may have been adopted to an earlier applicant. You are not expected to adopt just because you completed an application.
