Adoption Application

Welcome to FFI's online adoption application process. Please note that submitting an adoption application does NOT require you to adopt a horse, nor does it mean that you will be able to adopt a horse. It simply gives the FFI adoption coordinator basic information about you and your experience with horses. It also helps us to create a wait list when more than one party is interested in adopting the same horse.

Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Parents should fill out the adoption application with the assistance of their child's trainer/instructor. Applicants must be 18 years old or older to adopt.
