Second Stride Horse Donation Please email any questions to info@secondstride.org Visit our website at www.secondstride.org In order to facilitate the best level of care to our donors, adopters and horses: All horses accepted into our program must enter the program within 7 days unless otherwise agreed upon. Please let us know if you need help with shipping to meet this deadline. Due to the nature of our program, we always have a waiting list of equines needing help, and adopters wanting horses. Horses not entering within that timeframe may be placed back on our wait list, and a new horse may need to come into that spot. If you have a delayed entry of your equine onto the Second Stride premises, you will need to be sure there is still an open spot. Registration Papers: Please provide Second Stride with the foal papers and coggins on your equine. The Jockey Club registration/foal certificates are processed through the Jockey Club as not for racing stock to ensure that at some future point post adoption the horse cannot be raced. Without doing this, someone could apply for duplicates and try to fraud the association. The new not for race use papers allow the horse to be registered in the different show organizations and breed inspections for show horses, yet will not allow the horse to be raced. It will still allow the horse to be bred though and produce registered Thoroughbred offspring. That is out of our control. So read carefully the content below on our breeding policies. Breeding policy: Second Stride frowns upon breeding of horses. All horses entered into our program are ridden for mental and physical assessments, and individualized training programs will be developed for each one's specific learning needs post assessment. We try to target the use they would be best suited for and train them toward for that second job. Colts/Stallions: All colts entered into our program will be castrated. The average cost is $250 for on the farm castrations. Older horses are at a greater risk during castration of having complications including death. The average cost to castrate a non descended testicle horse or aged stallion is $1,200 as it usually needs to be done at an equine hospital. Donations to cover this care is appreciated. Mares: Though we focus on finding riding homes for our adopted horses, mares accepted and donated into our program could be bred beyond our control at some point in their life after being adopted. If you would like to make sure this will never happen to your donated mare, you can have her spayed before donating her into our program. Once they are cleared post surgery to be able to be ridden they may come into the program at that time. The average cost of this is $1,500-$2,000 all inclusive, plus some minor post surgery lay up care. Feel free to request a list of contacts of equine hospitals that can perform this surgery for you. If you cannot afford to do this and absolutely want to be sure your mare is never bred, we greatly recommend looking into a permanent retirement program that does not adopt out the mares to other owners, but instead houses them for the life of the horse. You may also look into private boarding care facilities where you can pension the mare and pay for her care during her life. Feel free to ask for some referrals of these type of programs. *Please initial here that you have read the above program information on our breeding policies.
