Description

Palomino Valley can hold over 2000 horses at peak times. Most are shipped out within a short time to the various adoption centers in the mid-western and eastern states, or to long-term holding facilities. Although one can adopt from Palomino Valley directly, the Center sees its primary mission as a "processing" facility to prepare horses for adoption elsewhere. Horses prepared at Palomino Valley are shipped throughout the United States to other adoption centers and adoption events. "Processing" or "Preparation" means that each animal is vaccinated, wormed, hooves trimmed if needed, freeze-branded, and entered into the national database with pertinent information such as age, gender, date of capture, capture location and the signalment key for that animal's physical description.
