Adopt a Horse Month was introduced in 2021 by the ASPCA Right Horse program, and it has been gaining popularity ever since. The program aims to help horses find suitable homes with the right individuals. May is considered one of the best times to promote adoptable horses to those who are looking to add another horse to their family. This is because equestrians begin to focus on shows, trail rides, and other activities after being cooped up during the winter months. Adopt a Horse Month supports equine rescue groups nationwide that work tirelessly to find safe and loving homes for the horses in their care.

Prieto also referred to as Mr. P, came to the HSVC as part of a humane investigation. His previous owner decided it was in Prieto's best interest to be surrendered to the shelter. He was severely emaciated, weighing only 776 lbs! He has come a long way in a short amount of time and is looking for his forever home. He will be gelded before going to his new home. 

Prieto is broke to ride and has been ridden, though he will need a refresher. He's friendly overall but has a very strong personality. Though he is now gelded, Prieto spent most of his life as a stallion and will need an owner who has the facilities and knowledge of a horse with his habits.
