New Intakes in Rehabilitation
All equines receive a veterinarian’s examination to determine their health status upon intake. Vaccinations and a Coggins test are completed if recommended. A feeding regimen is implemented. Medical conditions and injuries are treated. Dental and farrier exams are scheduled.
Available for Adoption
Application to foster or adopt
After an equine completes its rehabilitation and receives all necessary vaccinations, Coggins, farrier and dental exams, we conduct an assessment to determine its current level of training. Our goal is to ensure that the equine can be caught in the pasture, haltered, led, stand for the farrier, and loaded into a trailer. If we believe that additional training would benefit the equine, we will proceed with it.
Based on the assessment, the equine will be classified as either Available for Adoption or Care for Life. Some Adoptable equines may be classified as Companion Only due to their age or physical limitations. We always provide transparent information for each equine’s health and abilities.

Care for Life
Equines with special needs are placed in our Care For Life Program. The special needs may be nutritional, medical, or not safe to be adopted. These equine will remain in VEA care for the remainder of their lives. If a Guardian Foster is willing to provide the extra care these equines need an application can be submitted but VEA will retain ownership of the equine.
