Our Horses
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society’s mission is to rescue and rehabilitate as many horses as possible. Without our donors and volunteers, none of this would be possible. Working together, we continue to make miracles happen for needy horses.
Hall of Champions
At Bluebonnet Equine, we believe that all of our horses are champions. Some are champions in the show pen, some conquer challenging trails, some mosey along the trail, and some become best friends and beloved family members. Click to see our Hall of Champions.
Please contact us to share stories about your amazing, talented, and beloved Bluebonnet horses.

How to Adopt a Horse
In order to adopt, an individual or family must:
- Be a current member of BEHS in good standing.
- Have a signed liability waiver on file with BEHS.
- Submit a complete Adoption Application.
Once all of the above paperwork is received by BEHS, the rescue may:
- Review the adoption application to ensure that applicant meet fostering requirements.
- Call and verify references.
- Conduct a background check.
- Assign a volunteer inspector to set up a time for a pre-adoption home visit. During the pre-adoption home visit, the inspector will view and photograph the property where any adopted equine(s) will live, view and photograph other equines on the property, and answer questions about the adoption process.
Throughout the adoption process (starting when an application is received), the Adoption Coordinator will make periodic contact with the applicant. The Adoption Coordinator will:
- Contact the applicant when any part of the adoption application is received to give the applicant a report on the status of their application including what paperwork is outstanding.
- Answer questions about the adoption process.
- After a volunteer inspector has been assigned to conduct the inspection, the Adoption Coordinator will check in with the applicant to insure that they’ve heard from the volunteer inspector.
- Review the adoption policies and contract with the adopter.
- Remain a point of contact for the adopter.
The volunteer inspector will submit the Inspection Worksheet and photographs to the Horse Records Manager. The Adoption Coordinator will then decide whether or not the prospective adoptive home meets the minimum standards of care (outlined in the Minimum Standards of Care Policy) necessary to become an adoptive home.
The Adoption Coordinator may refuse an adoption for any reason.
After reviewing the Inspection Worksheet and photographs, either the Adoption Coordinator will contact the applicant.
- If the application is not approved, the Adoption Coordinator will discuss the reasons the application was not approved and outline what the applicant must do in order to be approved.
- If the application is approved, the Adoption Coordinator will notify the applicant and determine which equine(s) the adopter is interested in visiting. The Adoption Coordinator will put the adopter in contact with the foster home for those equines. The adopter will have two weeks to visit the equine, decide whether or not he/she will adopt, and arrange transportation of the equine. After the two week time period, the next approved applicant in line for that equine may get the opportunity to adopt him/her. Extensions may be granted if the foster home is not available during the two week timeframe. If the applicant fills out an adoption contact and pays the adoption fee but is unable to pick up the equine within the two week time-frame, the adopter will be responsible for paying board to the foster home at the rate of $50/week.
An applicant who has not been approved may file an appeal in writing to the Board of Directors within seven (7) days of receiving notice that they were not approved, and the Board of Directors will discuss the appeal. The Board of Directors has final discretion in upholding a refused adoption.
When the applicant visits the equine(s) he/she wishes to adopt if the equine is ridable, he/she and any family members who will be riding the equine once he/she is adopted must ride the equine under the supervision of the foster home. All equines must be handled by the applicant under the supervision of the foster home.
If the foster home does not feel confident that the applicant can safely and easily handle the equine, the foster home can delay the adoption and request that the Board of Directors reconsider the adoption.
If the foster home feels confident that the applicant can safely and easily handle the equine, the adopter may sign an adoption contract, and pay the adoption fee.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES may an applicant transport an equine before he/she has signed an adoption contract and paid the adoption fee.
When adopting, the adopter signs a contract agreeing to:
- Never use the adopted equine for breeding
- Never use the adopted equine as a Embryo Transfer donor or recipient
- To never sell the adopted equine
- To not send the equine through an auction or to a slaughter house,
- To only give away, lease out, or otherwise dispose of the equine (aside from humane euthanasia) when approved by the Adoption Coordinator. This approval will only be granted if:
- The adopter has had the adopted equine for more than one year.
- The person the adopter wishes to rehome the equine with agrees to submit a BEHS adoption and is approved.
- The person the adopter wishes to rehome the equine with agrees to follow the rules and guidelines outlined in the BEHS adoption contract and is willing to submit to a pre-adoption inspection and follow-up inspections in accordance with the adoption contract.
- If the adopter cannot keep the equine and cannot/will not rehome the equine in accordance with the above requirements, the equine must be returned to BEHS if the adopter can no longer keep the equine
- Advise BEHS if the equine is moved from the location described on the adoption contract
- Notify BEHS if the equine dies or is euthanized
- Maintain the equine in proper condition and health in accordance with the BEHS Minimum Standards of Care Policy
- Agrees to give BEHS volunteers who are acting upon instructions from the Board of Directors, Officers, or the Adoption Follow Up Coordinator access to the equine, with or without notice, in order to verify the equine’s condition and health
- Immediately notify BEHS if he/she receives a citation for any criminal or civil offense related to animal abuse or neglect
- Indemnify and hold harmless BEHS, its officers, directors, members, and volunteers for any damage to property or persons caused by the equine(s) adopted from BEHS
- Pay all attorney fees, legal expenses, and court costs of BEHS incurred in connection with enforcement of the Adoption Contract
- Knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with the adopted equine – including but not limited to inherent risks and risks of negligence
BEHS will maintain ownership of the adopted equine for two (2) years. During this time, BEHS will conduct the following post-adoption follow-up inspections:
- One to two (1 – 2) months after the date of the adoption contract
- Four to seven (4 – 7) months after the date of the adoption contract
- Eleven to thirteen (11 – 13) months after the date of the adoption contract
- Twenty-three to twenty-five (23 – 25) months after the date of the adoption contract
- Additionally as needed
How to Foster a Horse
Foster homes are the heart of the organization. They open their homes and their hearts to house needy equines. Some foster homes help rehabilitate starved equines while others work with equines who have training problems. Foster homes show their equines off to prospective adopters – and when their foster horse is adopted, they open their hearts for another.
If you don’t think you have enough horse experience to foster, don’t worry. Bluebonnet is happy to set inexperienced foster homes up with a mentor who can help them learn to foster. Many foster homes say they’ve learned more about horses by fostering than through lessons, classes or anything else.
Effective: January 15, 2022
- Be a current member of BEHS in good standing.
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Have a signed liability waiver on file for each person who will be handling the fostered equine(s).
- Submit a complete Fostering Application.
Once all of the above paperwork is received by BEHS, the rescue may:
- Review the foster application to insure that the applicant meet fostering requirements.
- Call and verify the references.
- Assign a volunteer inspector to set up a time for a pre-foster home visit. During the pre-foster home visit, the inspector will view and photograph the property where any fostered equine(s) will live, view and photograph other equines on the property, and answer questions about the fostering process.
The adoption/fostering application includes a self-inspection section. If the adopter/foster home does not submit sufficient self-inspection information or if the Adoption Coordinator or Fostering Coordinator has questions or concerns about the self-inspection photos or property, he/she may ask the Inspection Coordinator to post for an in person self-inspection.
If an in person inspection is needed, the volunteer inspector will submit the Inspection Worksheet and photographs to the Horse Records Manager.
The Foster Home Coordinator will determine if the prospective foster home meets the minimum standards of care (outlined in the Minimum Standards of Care Policy) necessary to become a foster home. The Worksheet and photos should be submitted to the Horse Records Manager within three (3) days of the pre-foster inspection.
After reviewing the Fostering Application and photographs, the Foster Home Coordinator will contact the applicant.
- If the application is not approved, the Foster Home Coordinator will discuss the reasons why with the applicant and outline what the applicant must do in order to be approved.
- If the application is approved, the Foster Home Coordinator will notify the applicant, add the applicant to the BEHS Fostering list and add the applicant to the Approved Foster Home Spreadsheet.
Once an applicant is approved, he or she must sign and submit a Foster Contract to BEHS before he or she may volunteer to foster any equines.
When an equine needs a foster home (either because the equine is new to the organization, has been returned by an adopter, or must be moved from his/her current foster home), The Foster Home Coordinator may:
- ask a specific foster home to foster the equine based on the foster home’s proximity to the equine’s current location, resources, or experience, or
- post the equine as “Available for Fostering” BEHS Email lists and/or social media groups. The Foster Home Coordinator will then consider offers to foster on a first-come, first-served basis with special attention paid to the location, resources, and expertise of the foster homes.
BEHS will pay or reimburse for pre-approved expenses (in accordance with the reimbursement policy):
- Veterinary work in accordance with the Veterinary Procedures Policy and Standard Veterinary Care Policy
- Medications if pre-approved by the Foster Home Coordinator
- Supplements if pre-approved by the Foster Home Coordinator
- Corrective farrier work if pre-approved by the Foster Home Coordinator
- Paste de-wormer
- Trims
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society also pays a fostering stipend to help offset the costs of hay/grain. The fostering stipend may not cover the entire costs of hay and/or grain, and the foster home will be responsible for any amount not covered by the stipend. Fostering stipends are paid quarterly. Stipend amounts:
- $80/month for a pony, donkey, mule, miniature
- $160/month for horses
- Additional fostering stipends may be approved by the Foster Home Coordinator for pregnant or nursing mares, emaciated horses, foals, senior horses, and/or horses will special feeding requirements. Additional stipends will only be given if supported by photographs documenting the condition of the horse and/or veterinary reports.
Upon arrival of a new equine, the foster home shall:
- Maintain the equine on a de-worming schedule
- Maintain the equine on a farrier schedule
- Ensure that the equine has had routine veterinary procedures performed in accordance with the Standard Veterinary Care Policy
- Evaluate the equine’s level of training to the best of his/her ability
- Complete an Equine ID form within one week and submit a copy of that form to the Horse Records Manager.
- Submit front, back, left, and right view photos to the Horse Records Manager within one week
The foster home will report by email, postal mail, or the telephone the condition, health, etc. of the fostered equine(s) as needed to the Foster Home Coordinator.
The foster home will review the equine’s web profile page and provide updates to the web coordinator as needed.
When the equine is put up for adoption, the foster home will be offered the opportunity to adopt the equine. The foster home will have two weeks from the date the equine is put up for adoption to decide whether or not they wish to adopt the equine. If they decide to adopt, the date on the adoption contract will be the date the equine arrived at the foster home and any follow-up inspections completed or photos submitted while fostering will count towards the follow-ups required of adopters. If the foster home does not adopt, then the opportunity to adopt the equine will then be offered to the first approved adoption applicant who has expressed an interest in the equine and the foster home will make the fostered equine available for scheduled visits by approved adoption applicants.
The foster home must give the Foster Home Coordinator at least thirty (30) days notice if they wish a fostered equine to be removed from their property.
If the foster home has a change in address, phone number, email, or any other contact information, they should notify the Foster Home Coordinator immediately.
The foster home will submit photographs that clearly depict the entire left side, entire right side, facial markings, condition of the hooves and any injuries of the equine twelve (12) months after the equine arrives at the foster home. The foster home will undergo follow up inspections at approximately two (2) months, five to seven (5-7) months and twenty-three to twenty-five (23-25) after the equine arrives at the foster home.
Once a foster home has fostered for five (5) years without problems, the Foster Home Coordinator will review the foster home’s history. If the foster home has had no problem follow-up visits, the Foster Home Coordinator will let the Inspection Coordinator know that the foster home now no longer needs follow-up inspections. Inspections will be reinstated if the foster home fails to submit photographs of the foster horse as needed/requested by the Foster Home Coordinator or Webpage Coordinator or if there are any problems with the condition of fostered or adopted horses that the foster home is responsible for.
If a foster home fails to submit photographs or self-inspections in a timely manner, BEHS may schedule additional in-person follow-up inspections.
The Board of Directors may remove a foster home’s “approved” status if the foster home:
- Neglects or abuses an equine
- Fails to comply with inspections
- Fails to make the equine available to approved adopters
- Fails to complete and submit the Equine ID Form and photographs within a reasonable amount of time
- Fails to comply with the Minimum Standards of Care Policy
- Moves a fostered equine without approval of the Foster Home Coordinator (in accordance with the Trailering Policy)
When a foster home’s “approved” status is removed, BEHS will remove any current fostered equines from the foster home’s care.
The following people may handle any BEHS equine in a foster home:
- Foster family
- Veterinarians
- Farriers
- Trainers with the permission of BEHS and completion of a signed liability waiver
- Approved BEHS Adopters
- Approved BEHS Trailering Volunteers
- Approved BEHS Inspectors
- BEHS members who have a completed, signed liability waiver on file at the discretion of the foster home
Rider Levels Defined
We realize that riding level is subjective, and everyone defines “beginner” versus “novice” versus “experienced rider” differently. So we created these definitions for those looking to adopt horses from Bluebonnet. These descriptions may not be shared by other rescues or equine professionals, so if you are looking at horses elsewhere we suggest you discuss your expectations with the trainer, instructor, or rescue to make sure your expectations/definitions match theirs.
To help determine where you fit in our definitions, we’ll ask for your input, look over the experience you list on your application, and may also send you a questionnaire or talk to you on the phone. Once we’ve determined your level, you can look at horses at or below your level. If you’ll be working with a trainer, you can also look at horses one step above your level.
For us, working with a trainer means the horse is either kept with a trainer who rides and trains the horse while also giving you lessons, or it means you are in weekly lessons with the trainer and are not riding unsupervised until the trainer feels comfortable that you can safely ride your horse.
If you are looking at a horse above your riding level at the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge, the horse’s Challenge partner must watch you ride and handle the horse and will have input on the match between you and the horse.
We know that no one likes to be labeled a beginner or novice, but we also know that all horse people start at that level and progress up riding levels as they ride with trainers, attend clinics, and study horses. If you would like to improve your horsemanship, there are demonstrations to watch during the Bluebonnet Horse Expo, and we may be able to refer you to a trainer or instructor in your area.
At Bluebonnet, we all continue to learn and improve.
A Beginner:
Is still learning the basics of riding and horse care
Needs supervision while riding and handling horses until they learn how to keep themselves safe in various situations
Should always have someone with them while they are riding to help prevent any accidents, answer questions, and help them learn
Need a more experienced person guiding and helping them with horsemanship.
Beginner riders are eligible to adopt beginner horses. We strongly suggest that beginner riders work with a trainer/riding instructor regularly for a minimum of one year.
A Novice:
Has the basic experience with horses
Can catch a horse, halter him, lead him, and groom on his/her own
Can mount and dismount unassisted (either from the ground or a mounting block)
Is still learning the basics and riding: steering, stopping, gait changes, etc.
Can control and ride comfortably at a walk and trot in an arena or round pen
Can load a trained horse into the trailer
Is starting to recognize a horse body language and what it means
Is beginning to understand what illnesses and lamenesses require immediate veterinary action
Novice riders are eligible to adopt beginner horses or beginner horses with a trainer. We recommend that novice riders continue regularly working with a riding instructor or trainer for a minimum of a year.
An Intermediate:
Has a significant amount of experience, both in the saddle and on the ground
Is comfortable riding and in control at a walk, trot, and a canter in small and large areas
Is comfortable riding a horse of varying degrees of difficulty.
Has the confidence to help the horse continue building their learned skills and can help the horse overcome minor setbacks
Has a controlled seat and quiet hands while riding.
May or may not compete in riding competitions.
Is able to work with young, green horses under supervision
Can use groundwork to help teach horses
Understands equine body language
Can recognize lameness and illness and knows when to call the veterinarian
Intermediates can adopt beginner, novice, or Intermediate horses. They may be able to adopt advanced horses if they’re regularly working with a trainer or instructor or will keep the horse with a professional trainer for 3-6 months for additional training. We strongly recommend that intermediate riders take periodic lessons or attention clinics to improve their horsemanship.”
Advanced:
Are confident riders
Can ride a variety of horses well with very little instruction
Can help build a horse’s confidence through some struggles
Have ridden most of their lives, have worked with a trainer/mentor for several years, or had several years with intense riding instruction
Can ride most horses including working with young/green horses without assistance
Can handle and correct behavioral issues such as rearing, striking, kicking, or biting on the ground
Can handle and correct some behavioral problems such as crow-hopping, bolting, or spooky under saddle
Know advanced maneuvers in their preferred riding discipline and can positively affect the horse they are riding at all times
Understand equine body language well
Can recognize and pinpoint lamenesses, recognize diseases and other conditions, and know when to call a veterinarian
Advanced riders are eligible to adopt beginner, Novice, Intermediate horses, or advanced horses. Advanced riders may be eligible to adopt an Expert horse if the horse will be put into training with a professional trainer for a minimum of 6-9 months for additional training.
Expert (or Professional):
Are typically professional (paid) trainers, retired trainers, or amateurs who have successfully trained their own horses for competition, ranch work, etc.
Have worked with horses at all levels
Can teach other riders
Can handle behavioral problems such as kicking, biting, rearing, striking, bucking, and bolting on ground or under saddle
Often either use horses for ranching work or compete in high levels in horse shows, competitive trail rides, endurance, play day events, roping, etc.
Expert riders are eligible to adopt horses at any level.
Approved Boarding Barns
All adopters and foster homes must complete an Adoption and Fostering application and be approved before taking home an adopted or fostered horse from Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society. Those adopters and foster homes who will keep their horse at one of the pre-approved boarding barns are not required to submit photos of the boarding barn or await facility approval (although they themselves will need to be approved as an adopter or foster home).
If you believe your barn has been approved in the past and you are not listed, please email us with the below information. Or if you contact one of these barns and find out they’re no longer in business, please email us with the name of the barn. Thank you!

BEHS Hall of Champions
Galeno
Jennifer adopted Galeno in 2013 and trained him to ride. The pair has been showing in hunter pleasure, huntseat equitation, and dressage suitability classes in virtual horse shows and have earned many show championships and series championships.
Cotton
When Cotton arrived at Bluebonnet, we weren’t sure she would survive the neglect she had endured. She had no name, she was underweight, she was unloved, and she had a painful growth on her leg. But Cotton had been through so much: we felt like we owed it to her to try.
Once Cotton was healthy and she had healed from the surgery to remove the growth on her leg, she moved to a new foster home with two little girls who were waiting to love her. They braided her mane, brushed her coat, kissed her nose, and told her she was safe.
They also discovered she was trained to ride, and after that they wanted to spend all their time with her.
The entire family, including their grandmother, fell in love with her. They didn’t want her to leave, so they adopted her. The girls now ride Cotton all over their property, in riding lessons, and at horse shows. In July, she’ll be in her first parade.
Tessa and Lainey
We adopted “Tessa and Lainey” two mini donkeys, in February 2025. They are the sweetest most cuddliest girls on the farm. They work with students at my farm school and equine assisted learning programs at The Stable Minded Ranch in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas.
They help younger students gain confidence before interacting with the horses, and they help older students with their gentle comforting nature. I am so grateful for them and their role at The Stable Minded Ranch. Thank you Bluebonnet for everything you do!
