2026 Horses

ALL HORSES FOR 2026 HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!

The horses arrive in several groups so watch our page for additional horses. For 2026 we expect around 20 horses to be available in total. You can find our adoption application here.

**Please read**

These are rescue horses. They are not first time owner horses. The history of these horses is unknown. We strongly recommend and encourage every adopter to work with a trainer following the adoption & give the horse some time to settle in before trying to ride it. Also, all people who run this program are volunteers for HSL and have full-time jobs. So please be patient with the process. We’re trying to help everyone as quickly as possible and answer any questions you may have.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

HOW DO I APPLY TO ADOPT A HORSE?
You must have at least 3 references for us to process your application. If your application is incomplete or you don’t have references with phone numbers, we will not process your application.

DO MY HORSES HAVE TO BE UP TO DATE ON COGGINS?
Yes, all of these horses have current coggins and we don’t want to put them in jeopardy by putting them with a horse that hasn’t had a recent coggins. It’s a state law to have coggins done annually.

HOW CAN I SEE THE HORSES BEFORE I DECIDE?
We only allow approved applications to go to the stable to meet the horses.

I SEE HORSES ARE BEING MARKED ADOPTED AND IT’S NOT EVEN MARDI GRAS.
The horses are pre-adopted before Mardi Gras to make it easier for them to leave as soon as the parades are over. It takes us a few days to process the applications and approve them. So it’s necessary to do the adoption process now so adopters can arrange transport the following days after Mardi Gras. A deposit must be put down via Venmo once your application is approved to hold the horse and mark him/her adopted. It is first come first served.

WHAT ARE THE ADOPTION FEES?
The adoption fee is listed on each horse’s post.

WHERE ARE THE HORSES LOCATED?
New Orleans, Louisiana.

WHO ARRANGES TRANSPORT?
The adopter is responsible for arranging transport. Locally and close to the New Orleans area, we can probably help find someone local at a cheaper price. Once the deposit is put down, the remaining adoption fee is paid upon pickup. The horses are able to be picked up after Mardi Gras.
