Buyers are encouraged to select their foals early. There are several ways to choose new foals.
The best way to view the foals is by looking at our online catalog. This is the most current list and is updated on a regular basis. Make sure to check back often. Interested buyers may visit the Sanctuary any time of the year to view and select young horses. The foal list will help you identify which foals are still available. Foals are for sale year round. After you select your foal(s), a non refundable deposit of 25% of the purchase price is required to hold your selection. A conditional bill of sale will be written and a date will be selected for you to pick up your foal(s). The full purchase price must be paid before your foal(s) is allowed to leave.
When it is time for your foal to leave
After weaning, foals are ready to leave the Sanctuary for their new homes. There is a large selection of yearlings and two year olds halter broke and ready to go to their new homes now. Registered foals are usually ready to leave in August. Mustang foals are usually ready to leave in late September or the middle of October.

Preparing your foal’s new home
The new home for the foal should include a safe corral made of pipe or boards, at least five feet high, and have a safe gate. The corral should be at least 40x40 in diameter. Some form of shelter is advisable. Our foals are used to oats and hay –either grass or alfalfa hay.
A foal usually does better if it has a buddy, so we give special consideration to those who purchase two or more.
Young horses can begin their training early, but are not ridden with a saddle until after two years of age. All ground work can begin as a youngster and be ready to ready to go when the young horse is mature enough. For more information contact Susan Watt at iram@gwtc.net or 1-605-745-7494.
