Greener Pastures Rescue has made a change to the listing and Adoption process for the horses listed on this page. Please Check out our Enrollment Policy page for details.
If you are interested in any of these horses please e-mail to Attn:GPR Adoptions at
Email Greener Pastures Rescue.Most of these horses are residing at their owner's homes, information on them has been provided by the owner. We cannot take responsibility for horses placed outside of our adoption program. So, if you do not have a signed adoption agreement and a release, it is not considered a Greener Pastures Horse.
Please Note: As a rule most of the horses available have an adoption donation fee ranging from $200 to $2000. Additionally applicants must be at least 21 years of age. Due to the fact that we have limited people resources at the moment, we need to place horses in adoption homes no farther than 2 hour drive(120 miles) from Salem, Ct. Thank you.

Goldie - Palomino PMU Filly, 14.3 hand, 3 year old. Ready to be trained under saddle, so that I can become your loyal mount. An experienced horse person or someone with a trainer would be my best match. I am dominant in the pasture and very self assured. |

Hannah - Palomino, Quarter Horse Mare, 16 hands approx. 10 years old. Hanna stands for the Ferrier, while she is sometimes reluctant to pickup her back feet, she has always complied. Slow and steady. She loves to swim and of course, be brushed for hours on end and pick pockets for rounders. She is looking for a new home because she is at the bottom of the pecking order and as a result is often run off of her food. She is looking for a home where she can live as a companion to one other horse or have the ability to eat in privacy and be turned out with others. She is currently being treated for Lyme. Her fully paid prescription of Doxy will go to her new home with her. |

Ginger - Thoroughbred, bay, mare, 16 hand, 13 year old. Goes English. Shown locally, mostly at unrated hunter shows. She is a horse who needs an experienced, confident, patient rider, who is not easily intimidated. She has excellent ground manners, but she can sometimes be difficult under saddle. She is best when she is worked consistently, close to everyday. She can jump 3' courses, but is currently out of shape and sticky with her leads. She is brave and will do anything for her rider, but she does not have a lot of confidence in herself and sometimes gets frustrated if her rider rushes her or is insecure. She is a sweetheart. She has been out of consistent work for 7 years, but she is occasionally lunged and ridden by a 14 year old girl. Martha 401-480-8275 |

Also used for children's lessons in the past. no health issues, but he is a little overweight from not working for four years. Scooter is a very affectionate horse who will follow you around the pasture like a puppy. He has a smooth trott and canter. Scooter bows for treats and will blow bubbles in his water bucket to get the last few bits of grain that he dropped in it. he loves to be sprayed with a hose in hot weather, and puts his face right in the spray. He likes to run and play in the pasture. Scooter is out of practice which is why he needs an advanced rider at this time. He just needs a tuneup. He is well trained and very responsive to body aids and every command he's given. he loves rail rides and his behavior is excellent on the trails with a buddy. Please call Corey 860-859-5380 |

Skip
- Quarter
Horse Gelding, 16yr old 15.3h that was abused by his previous owner and
when I purchased him he slowly developed Calcified Arthritis. He has it in his
right front leg. This prevents him from full range of motion in his knee.
He gets around very well. He can do light riding and you can lead him
with kids. Its actually good for him to be led and lightly ridden.
He cannot stay locked in a stall. He was very scared when I first
got him. He is such a gentle soul and so kind. He is now very well adjusted
with people he knows. Once you spend time with him and he's sure of you he
comes around. I can only imagine what he must have gone through. My 11yr old
son spends hours with him, talking to him and walking him. I would only place
him nearby to our home so we could visit. My son will be heart broken as will
I!! Unfortunately, I do think it's time for him to go to a retirement home or
be a pasture buddy. My cell is 860 883-8767 Jen |
