They take a truckload of horses into a certain location and then offer the horses in a few towns in a few states. They ranged in age from youngens like these to 5 years old. None had any training. The cost was minimal ....like some were only $45. but you have to meet alot of requirements to qualify to take one. One of the really difficult ones is that your fencing has to be quite a bit taller then people have normally so that was a big deterent for most people as putting up taller fencing would generally be pretty pricey. I think the reason is that they don't want them escaping once people get them home. I imagine they'd be pretty hard to catch. I wish I could help with a couple......dozen!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how many were adopted out of this bunch.
