New 2025 Policies

Each foal requires a new adoption application.  If you have adopted in the past and it has been over two years one most be updated. Please visit https://rollingoaksrescue.org/forms-page   

 Everyone considering adopting a foal must fill out a New 2025 Adoption Form, with Absolutely No Exceptions.  Please take your time in filling out the form, and please read over everything on the website. 

 Things you most HAVE to be approved: Stall most be four walls. Safe turnout NO BARBED WIRE FENCING. Outside turnout most have shelter available for foal. Most have a source to water, and milk. Dry lots most have water source and access to hay and shelter. 

Foals under four months most have access to milk replacer. 

Foals need interaction with other horses and livestock in a safe environment. If you do not have this then we highly recommend you adopt two foals. 

ABSOLUTELY NO REFUND ON DEPOSITS.

PLEASE READ 

 We had some issues getting nurse mare foals Registered last year (2022) due to APHA’s new rules that came into  effect on January 1, 2022. All registered paint horses must be DNA  tested including sires and dams. Mares are gone to the leased  farm for 6-8 months, the leasing farm is not responsible for pulling DNA  test hair. However, when the mare returns to its owner, we are able to  request a hair sample. It is the responsibility of the adoptee to  request a mare's hair sample for DNA testing at a charge of $100.00.  

*Note that the mares are not available for 6-8 months, the leasing farm is not responsible for pulling DNA test hair.  However then the mare returns a hair sample can gotten.

As President of this operation, I have made the decision on foals that come with transfer/ registration papers that they will be sold grade until DNA confirmation on Dam and Sire has been checked out.

At that time if you wish to purchase the papers arrangements can be made with either myself or one of our staff members. 

We understand that sometimes things come up and you need to find a good home for your foal or livestock. We have options to help you. 

Purchase buyback on foals: When buying a foal back we understand you have put money and time into your foal so when it comes to purchasing them we will only pay up to fair market value once foal has been evaluated. 

Rolling Oaks Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit charitable organization you can donate your foals and livestock to the organization for a full write-off.  

Donating your furry family member to Rolling Oaks Rescue we will find a really good home through our adoption process.

We love sharing all the pictures you send us of the foal. We have created a photo release form to fill out so we can share all your stories and pictures/videos.
