Adopt a Horse from Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson talking with his horses in Luck, Texas
The Nelson family and Habitat for Horses are reinstating the Willie Signature Horses series of horses, four of which are now up for adoption. These horses are currently living on Willie’s ranch in Luck, Texas. They are healthy and ready to go to a loving forever home. Visit the Habitat for Horses website for details. http://www.habitatforhorses.org/willie-nelson-signature-series-horses/
Willie Nelson has adopted and fostered over 75 horses from Habitat for Horses over the past decade. Habitat for Horses, Inc. is a nonprofit organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas to promote and secure the safety and well being of all horses, encourage education concerning the physical and mental health of horses, explore and establish connections with young adults who can benefit emotionally from involvement with horses, promote the proper training of horses, and provide a home for those horses who are no longer able to be productive.
The Nelson family has been working with the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), a small and effective animal welfare lobbying group in D.C., to draw attention to American horses who are being slaughtered for human consumption overseas. Horse slaughter plants in the U.S. have been voted out by their states, but until there is a federal ban, slaughter-bound horses are being trucked in extreme temperatures and long distances without food and water to Mexico and Canada. http://awionline.org/content/slaughter. Over 80 percent of Americans polled are for a federal ban on horse slaughter for human consumption. Ask Congress to do right by the horses.
Even America’s federally protected wild horses are at risk of slaughter. These national treasures are being forced off federal land so corporate mining and agriculture can consume it at the expense of the wild horses and the American taxpayer. This land had been secured for the horses by the will of the people. There are over 40,000 wild horses in captivity, more than are in the wild. Many end up on the path to slaughter, but together we can stop this.
Let’s put public pressure on the Bureau of Land management to stop the round ups and release the horses. http://awionline.org/content/wild-horses-and-burros
This is just awesome. Beautiful horses. A friend and myself started a group on FB called Rescue Rangers. We help to get rescue and horses in need to their new homes all by volunteers. They volunteer their trailers and time and we only asked the new owners to pay for gas. It is working well so far and have volunteers across the country. If we can ever help in any way please let us know!! Thank you for what you do!

I love what you’re doing! Funny thing is I just read about your rescue efforts in Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die. I grew up in Garza County, Tx. and love the cowboy life. And yes, there are more real cowboys in the world. I’m now an Oklahoma resident and would love one of your horses for my 7 year old daughter, Micaiah. My parents first day was to see one of Willie’s concerts in Lubbock many years ago. What are the chances we could adopt? Any information would be helpful, may God continue to bless you and yours!

I think its fantastic what Willie has done. It has been a lifes dream to own a horse. I have the space to house one of your horses. I wonder if you would donate one of them to me. I live in Florida which is also a big horse state. When I was a child, there wasn’t a horse around that I couldn’t ride. Now I am retired and disabled. I can’t walk long distances A horse,wouldgive me a way to get out of the house and enjoy the world. I know its a lot ot ask but currently I live on a fixed income. Not to worry. I would take a job, to make money to care for my horse. He or she would not go without. I would love and care for my horse everyday. So what do you say? PLEASE
Oh by the way, Hart is the one i would pick if I could.
Please tell Willie that Oklahoma is in the process of passing two bills to legalize opening horse slaughter plants (Rep.Skye McNeil whose family owns biggest auction house and Rep. Mark Allen -racetracks in his districts. March 4th is Rally Day in Oklahoma. Also New Mexico is bringing in a slaughter bill by Representative Bandy. Tell Willie we need help!
please add me to your mailing list.
You have to add yourself. The signup is on the right side of the front page
We are trying to contact reps here in my home state of NM to voice concern and stop opening of Roswell slaughter plant. Our Govenor is against it, but we need other people to call and take a stand against the opening!!!
