Welcome to National Adopt a Horse Month!

Each May, horse lovers across the country celebrate National Adopt a Horse Month, a nationwide campaign led by the ASPCA to spotlight the thousands of horses in need of homes and the rescues working tirelessly on their behalf. It's a time to raise awareness, challenge outdated stereotypes about rescue horses, and—most importantly—connect the right horses with the right people.

The campaign was launched to combat the misconception that rescue horses are “broken” or unsuitable for meaningful lives. In truth, horses end up in rescue for many reasons—financial hardship, health issues, changes in family circumstances—not because they’ve failed anyone. In fact, many are well-trained, healthy, and eager to find their next partner.

At Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue, we know firsthand how incredible adopted horses can be. Every day, we see resilience, transformation, and second chances in action. This month, we’ll be highlighting one adoptable horse every day, sharing their story, personality, and what kind of home they’re looking for.

Whether you’re actively searching for a horse, curious about the process, or simply want to help spread the word, we invite you to follow along and get to know the amazing equines waiting for a fresh start.
