WCET Rehoming Process

Re-homing one of our horses offers a truly priceless reward, but we prioritize their well-being above all. To ensure the best outcomes for both the horses and their new families, we have established a comprehensive re-homing procedure. This process is designed to match each horse with the right adopter to ensure a smooth transition.

OUR PROCESS

  • Personal Viewing: Prospective adopters are encouraged to visit and meet the horse in person. This allows them to gauge compatibility and even try out the horse.
  • Application Form: Interested adopters must complete an application form to initiate the re-homing process.
  • Property Inspection: A thorough property inspection is conducted to ensure a suitable environment for the horse. This includes checking for safe fencing, adequate shelter (either a stable or a three-sided shelter with a solid roof), and constant access to fresh water and quality feed.
  • Rehoming Agreement: If the property meets our standards, a Rehoming Agreement will be completed, outlining the responsibilities of the adopter.
  • Rehoming Fee: A rehoming fee is required to support the care and welfare of the horse.
  • Vet Check Recommendation: We highly recommend a veterinary check to ensure the horse is healthy and ready for a new home.
  • Transport Responsibility: Please note that the responsibility for transportation of the horse falls to the adopter.

IMPORTANT

We do an annual inspection of the horses and ask that owners keep us posted of the horse’s progress. A horse can be moved or sold on but the WCET must be informed before the horse is sold or moved in order for the WCET to do a home check of the new premises before approval. All of the standard Re-Homing procedures will apply to the next owner. It is imperative that the WCET is aware  of the whereabouts and well being of the horse at all times.
