There are Horses and Ponies that are waiting to be saved from the violence and cruelty of the Slaughter System.

The Adoption Fees help to defer

• Acquisition Fees
• Transportation
• Veterinary Costs
• Miscellaneous Expenses
• The countless hours of handling and training by Christine and other professionals volunteering their time.
• All adoption fees are a FREE will donation of your choice and ability

Please Click Here to See the Application

Please complete the application, send it in and wait to hear from us.  We will carry out reference checks and site checks prior to discussing which horse or horses may be suitable for your situation.  Thank you!  We appreciate your desire to offer a lifetime of love and care for an equine in need!  Horses live into their 30's on average and ponies and mules can live to 40, so we appreciate your consideration of that fact. It is painful for a horse to be uprooted from his family and friends and is especially difficult as the horse ages.  Please look to make a lifetime commitment monetarily, physically and emotionally. Please have these items ready:

• proof of income/retirement/social security, etc
• a photo ID
• pictures of your facilities and other horses if you have any,
• a copy of your last vet/farrier bill if you have horses, if not, then the name and number of the vet and farrier you plan to use,
• bring a utility bill to show proof of residence,
• if boarding, the boarding facility will have to sign your adoption application.
  And please be specific about your "dream horse", we are best equipped to help you if we know exactly what you are looking for.

Again,  if you are looking for a show jumping mare you can breed next year and then sell please do NOT contact us!  However, if you are seeking a friend to whom you will remain loyal to even when they cannot do the job you once asked of them...feel free to contact us.                 Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue 44 Little Fresh Pond Road Southampton, NY 11968   christine@amaryllisfarm.com

Or

Part Sponsor a Sanctuary Horse, Pony or Mule!

• Sponsor a Sanctuary Horse  $100 monthly
• Sponsor a Sanctuary Mule  $75 monthly
• Sponsor a Sanctuary Pony  $50 monthly

With this program, you are able to be a REAL help in the life of a pony, mule or horse!   Many senior or medical maintenance equines need someone like you to help, not just with their feed and bedding costs, but because they have additional supplementation and veterinarian costs. It is difficult to find one person who is willing or able to cover all the expenses of a horse that is no longer able to perform. You can help! You can sponsor for any length of time!  Get 4 more friends together with you and you will have covered that equine's expenses for the month yourselves!  This is also a great gift idea!

 Did you know that Gamal, pictured below worked for years at Coney Island as a driving horse and was later saved from a slaughter pen?  Powderface was never found.  Shiloh was saved along with Gamal.  I was a little girl when I read about this and I always cry thinking about it.

Sponsor a farm animal!  We have many ducks, chickens, pigs, goats and more looking for a forever family to love and support them!

If you cannot take a horse home you can:

 If you want to FULLY ADOPT a SANCTUARY HORSE and this horse become your "own" (though they remain at Amaryllis) you can do this!  $6000 yearly covers one horse's expenses. You can do this for one year or promise the horse you'll hang in there for the rest of their life. Horse's can be "shared" between a few people. 

Ten requests from your horse...

1. I wish to be with you all the days of my life. Separation from you is painful for me.
2. Give me time to understand what you wish from me. I love you, please be patient. I am trying
my best.
3. Trust in me as I trust in you.
4. Don't be angry with me, I love you and need you. You are all I have.
5. Talk with me, tell me your dreams and hopes. I want to be there as they come true. I will never
leave you.
6. Treat me with respect so I can honor you.
7. I am so sensitive, a small fly can upset me so! Please never strike me. I am here to serve you.
I love you.
8. If I act out of character, please try to find out if something is hurting me or if I have a reason. I
am never "bad" without good reason.
9. Take care of me when I am old, you have been my life. I will need you more as aches and
pains begin. I would never leave you.
10. Be with me as I take my last journey. Please be brave and strong for me as I was for you in
my youth. Allow me my dignity.
Hold my head and tell me of the wondrous place I will go to await you. I love you and I will
wait for you. When your time finally comes...
I would be honored to carry you into Heaven my trusted friend.
