The University of New Hampshire Equine Program is dedicated to making sure our older school horses find excellent retirement homes. The horses listed below are available for adoption. Please make sure to look through our Prospective Adopter Application Form and Lifetime Adoption Agreement. For more information or to schedule an appointment to view the horses, please contact Erin Morgan-Paugh at Erin.MorganPaugh@unh.edu or 603-862-0343.

This sweet boy does NOT have clean x-rays and is no longer sound enough to be used in our teaching program. He is well-mannered to handle and very affectionate. He loves attention (and treats!) and is looking for a pasture home. He is well-behaved turned out with other geldings and would be a lovely and happy companion for horses of any age or a good "babysitter" for young horses.

Cadete has been a much beloved member of our UNH herd for several years. His baby face says it all: he is a lovable, snuggly, sweet boy who is still a giant kid at heart. He is a big boy who needs an experienced rider to help him organize and balance his gangly frame. He's very cute under saddle when he's using his top line correctly. He is happy to work for his rider, but he is more excitable when jumping and in cold weather so he needs a confident rider who can handle his lively moments. He is hard on his own body in his stall and at turnout and can be a harder keeper. He is ready to slow down a step in a loving forever home due to some arthritis behind. However, he will do best with regular work to maintain his muscles and occupy his mind.
