Patriot De Vie’s FAQs

What is Sunshine Horses, Inc.’s adoption process?

We strive to provide all adopters with honest descriptions of each horse and do our best to find the perfect match for both human and horse. One of the joys of adopting a retired Standardbred is that they’ve already done it all! These horses have had years of training, so they don’t typically require any additional work in leading, tying, grooming, standing for the vet and farrier, and clipping. They’re also accustomed to new sights, sounds and smells. Plus just about all of our Standardbreds are ready for carriage driving and they are quick to take on a rider. Adoption fees range from $300-$2,500 depending on the level of training, age, soundness and potential of the horse. Prior to adoption you must fill out an interest application and schedule an appointment to see the horse. We follow a right of first refusal and do not hold horses unless the proper paperwork is filled out. Should you continue with the adoption we ask that you fill out an adoption contract and provide references. There is also a home check for the barn where the horse will be stabled. After adoption yearly vet checks are required to be emailed or mailed to us per our adoption contract. Should you need more than one month to bring the horse home we ask that you provide sponsorship for it. Please contact us for more detailed information.
