Privately owned horses needing homes
There are so many privately owned horses desperately needing immediate homes that is has been very difficult to keep up with them. The owners of these horses have asked HPAF for help in screening potential adopters. If you are interested in one of the privately owned horses please email us your adoption application and pictures of your place or where the horse will live. Once we receive your application we will put you in contact with the owner of the horse.

Rosie Missing 23 year old miniature pony mare http://www.netposse.com/stolenmissing/missing_1/RosieFLmissingJun2009.html
Rosie was adopted out under a contract stating that she could not be given away, loaned, traded or sold and only returned to HPAF but her adopter gave her away. She went through four different homes in a short time in the summer of 2009. She was then sold at auction and purchased by Jack Darling. She was then purchased from Jack Darling in the fall of 2009 by a broker who spoke Spanish. This broker may have sold Rosie in Florida or Puerto Rico. Rosie may have been with another miniature mare named Donna who is liver chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. Please contact HPAF if you have any leads on Rosie. $1000 reward for her recovery.
