Please note other terms and conditions:

Due to the nature of equine adoptions, NO adoption made with Second Stride Inc. has a refundable fee, warranty period, or any obligation to accept previously adopted horses in exchange or trade-in free of charge. We try hard to provide as much information as possible about each horse’s physical and mental state prior to adoption to help ensure that it is suitable for the adoptive home.  We are not liable for any known or unknown defect in an adopted horse.
