LOPE Ranch Facility

Rehab and Adoption Facility

LOPE has a ranch adoption facility located near Austin, Texas. Trainers can donate their injured or at-risk horses to LOPE and we will find them approved non-race homes.

LOPE will rest and rehab injured horses, and even start the retraining process for sound horses. Here at the ranch, horses can relax in a grassy turnout pasture and learn how to be “just horses” again before starting their new jobs.

There is an adoption approval process required to adopt the horses at the LOPE Ranch. Prior to purchase, prospective buyers of LOPE Ranch horses must be approved first by submitting an application form and passing a reference/veterinary check. If you are interested in adopting one of the horses, please email LOPE.

Please go to the Horses Available page to see the horses currently available for adoption at the LOPE Ranch.

Training and Education

The LOPE Ranch also holds clinics on horsemanship, equine nutrition and racehorse retraining. Our clinics are held by renowned and very experienced natural horsemanship trainers, and are designed for all levels of rider. Equine care and nutrition is also covered in our seminar series.

We here at the LOPE Ranch believe that both horse and rider can benefit from ongoing education and training!

Needs and Goals

The LOPE Ranch is upgrading its facilities so that we can take in more horses and help those with more severe injuries. Learn more about our exciting new "Homestretch Heroes Rehabilitation Program".

If you would like to help the LOPE Ranch expand its facility and help more horses, please contact LOPE Executive Director, Lynn Reardon.
