Saddlebred Rescue (SBR) AKA American HorseAdoption is a truly unique rescue that incorporates the thinking and practicesof a professional show stable with the realities of the plight of unwantedhorses today. SBR buys all horses in our program mostly fromauctions and sales where they were slaughter bound. We have our ownprofessional trainer who works with each horse to evaluate and design aschooling program to help the horse be as adoptable as possible. All horses in our program are evaluated by twoprofessional horse trainers before they are placed.Each horse’s overall health condition isassessed by our staff, and veterinarian, if necessary, and immediately-neededhealth issues are treated. Chronic conditions are recorded as such. All SBR horses are in a lifetime program andwill always have the option of being returned to SBR if the adopter’scircumstances change. SBR encourages every potential adopter to visitour facility and try out any of our treasures that may be a potential match. While we encourage visits, we understand it isnot always possible to visit us on-site. In these cases, our trainers work withyou to understand your needs and to pick out a horse that is perfect for you.Our placement rate is very high and returns to SBR for incompatibility arealmost nonexistent.Every day our professionals work to improve thecare, training and placement of our treasures.
