Zebs Wish Equine Sanctuary
Our goal is to adopt our horses to people who are committed to lifetime care to the horses they adopt.
The only way we can continue to help more horses is if we are able to place our horses into these types
of homes.
We also understand that sometimes things happen that can disrupt the best of plans and or intentions.
We will ask you to contact us if circumstances occur where it becomes impossible for you to keep the
horse, we also ask that you consider this next question very carefully.
If the horse you adopt is rideable, do you agree to provide care for the horse for the rest of her/his life,
even after she/he can no longer be ridden? *Mini horses should NEVER be ridden. We ask that this is
understood and agreed to at the time of adoption.
Yes ___________
No ____________
At Zebs Wish we understand the plight of even finely bred animals when their circumstances change
and ask that the adopted horse is NEVER BRED.
DO you agree to never breed this animal nor to put this animal is a circumstance where it may be bred

Resale Policy: ZEBS WISH EQUINE SANCTUARY is seeking permanent lifetime homes for all equines.
Therefore, we reserve the Right of First Refusal should the adopter choose to sell the adopted horse.
In other words, if situations change then Zebs Wish expects to have the FIRST opportunity to take the
equine back. We simply want to ensure that a previously rescued horse never ends up in a bad
situation again.
