At MANE our horses are valued partners in a relationship. In order to participate and work with individuals that often have profound disabilities, MANE is highly selective when accepting horses into our program. Many of our horses are donated; however we do purchase animals when and where funds are available. When selecting a horse to participate in our program, we are looking for a horse or pony that is ideal and suitable for Equine Assisted Activities and Therapy. If you are interested in donating to the program, contact the main office at 334-213-0909.

Donating a Horse
Do you have a horse that might be a candidate for MANE? If so, call Anne Alan Duncan at 334-213-0909 to discuss placement options. With superior care, lots of attention, lovely pastures, roomy stalls, and a pristine barn, MANE provides a wonderful home for special equines, and owners who give horses to the program get a tax deduction as well!

Important Note! While Minor Health Issues in an Equine May Be Acceptable, Please note That Our Horses Must Be Sound Enough to Work Regularly.

MANE will:
Evaluate a prospective horse’s conformation
Evaluate health
Consider age
Examine gaits and manners of going
Observe attitude, reliability and adaptability
The breed of a horse is not a critical consideration. Different breeds offer different builds needed for a wide range of activities, including riding, driving, vaulting, interaction on the ground and others. By donating a horse you will not only assist individuals with disabilities, but you will also be eligible for a tax deduction.
