Why Adopt

Thinking About Purchasing a Horse? 

Consider adopting from Horse Haven of Tennessee! 

When most people begin the process of getting a horse, the first places they start looking are auctions, internet classifieds and feed store bulletin boards. Sure, you can pick up a horse for cheap at an auction, but you will know nothing about the horse, his training or his history. The internet classifieds or bulletin boards may seem safer in that you can meet and evaluate the horse before purchase, but you are still responsible for any vet care needed and there may not be a return policy if the horse doesn’t work out for you. If you adopt a horse from Horse Haven of Tennessee, not only will you get a fully vetted and trainer-evaluated horse, but you get peace of mind knowing that Horse Haven of Tennessee will take the horse back if the horse proves not to be a good match for you. When the seller has the best interests of the HORSE in mind and not the money from a quick sale, everyone wins! Keep this in mind when purchasing, and “Buyer Beware”. Also keep in mind that according to Tennessee law ALL horses that exchange ownership are required to show proof of a negative Coggins test within the past 6 months. This is the law! 

Below is just a comparison between purchasing and adopting through HHT. Adoption fees vary between every animal that comes into our adoption program depending on their training and abilities. These fees could range from $0 – $500.
