The Transition To Hope
When donkeys, mules, or horses arrive they are evaluated for health and provided the best care possible from rehabilitation or medical treatment to regular farrier care and vaccinations. Equally important is giving them time to decompress and realize they are in a safe place. Transitioning equine not only include those new to Hope, but any who need time for rehabilitation, or recovery, or event the occasional mare who arrives pregnant or with a foal. The equine listed below are in transition and have not completed their final levels of evaluation to prepare them for their new lives.
The time between in-take, evaluations, and final preparations for adoption can take from weeks to months or in extreme cases more than a year. Please note the equine listed below are not currently available for adoption.

Color: Dun
Afraid of the world and found in horrid conditions, Sunshine arrived at Hope with eight motherless foals. Once untouchable, Sunshine has come a long way with the help of her best friend who spends hours with her on a daily basis. It has been a gradual process but Sunshine will now accept scratches, treats, light grooming, and even a halter with short walks on a lead. She has a long way to go but she is on the right path.
