would this be considered buying or adopting?
I feel like a complete retard for asking but in my eyes the horse world is completely different from the rest of the pet world.
I worked at a ranch where my boss bought a yearling and had him gelded, trained, and then put him up for sale. I wanted to open a small rescue that had some horses (mostly mustangs fresh off the range and rescued thoroughbreds). Ok so here is where I’m confused. If it was a wild horse that was gentled (and possibly completely trained using some method) or a rescued thoroughbred would it be considered selling or adopting out?
thats the thing though…
a thoroughbred rescued would have had a previous owner…I just saved it from becoming dinner.
But a mustang would have never had a previous owner
I think the difference is who retains ownership rights to the horse. Did you just pay for it and it’s yours? Then that’s buying, even if you have rescued it from some bad situation. If there are conditions attached to your “donation”, like a two year probationary period, or they can come inspect how the horse is doing and take it away if not cared for (thereby retaining ownership rights to the horse) then it is adopting.
I have two ponies from two different rescues. One was mine years ago, I sold him, then and I found him there. They didn’t charge me to take him back, but I did sign their regular contract that says they still own him and can come do annual inspections (which they haven’t done in the last 7 years), and that if I ever wanted to get rid of him that I had to send him back there instead of selling him. I “adopted” him back in 2001.
Last summer, I adopted a pony from another rescue. At this one, it is a probationary period of two years when they still own the pony, can come inspect, remove him, etc., and if all goes well after two years, then I can apply to have his ownership transferred to me at that time.
