- The horse is adopted “as is.” I understand that any horse I adopt may come with pre-existing conditions and it is up to my discretion to have a thorough veterinary examination of the horse at my own expense.

d) Good quality feed providing sufficient nutrition to maintain normal body condition
e) Safe and comfortable environment including shelter from adverse weather. - I will contact my veterinarian, farrier, trainer, owner of the boarding facility (if applicable), and employer and give permission for the release of information to the ATRRF.
