Over the past few years the Nebraska Humane Society has seen a dramatic increase in the need to rescue abused and neglected equines. Unfortunately NHS does not have an equine facility and relies on the use of foster homes and boarding facilities to house their equine friends. Foster homes provide the loving care and TLC needed to get horses on their road to recovery and ready for adoption. NHS takes in many different horses of all breeds and disciplines. Before the horses go up for adoption they are fully vetted and they try to work with each horse as much possible to help potential adopters select a horse that is right for them and make sure it will be a good fit.
If you are interested in adopting or fostering a horse from the Nebraska Humane Society you can contact Kristie Biodrowski at 402-444-7800 ext 325 to see some of the horses currently available please visit the NHS website www.nehumanesociety.org
In order to foster a horse you must live within 25 miles of Omaha.
As of the end of September, they have the following:
1 Red Dun QH mare 8 yrs old, very nice under saddle but needs an intermediate to advanced rider, she also has an old bowed tendon injury so she can only be lightly ridden for pleasure
2 TB Geldings
- Easter is 8, he is not broke to ride that we know of, hopefully we will begin work with him soon and know more
- Deputy is 4, he is in the process of learning his ground manners
Major: 15 year old Paint/TB Cross gelding Chestnut and White
- He is not saddle broke that we know of.
We also just took in 4 Arabians, 2 Mares and 2 Geldings. They are not up for adoption yet but will be soon.
