Marcus (Resident)
Marcus was surrendered to us as a weanling foal soon after he was diagnosed with megaesophagus. Due to his health issues, Marcus is not adoptable and is part of our resident herd. He has played a pivotal role in our genetic research into the inheritance of megaesophagus in Friesian horses.
Marcus was raised at one of our satellite facilities with Martin (below) until he joined the herd at the Fenway Foundation in 2023. To learn more about Marcus & Martin, watch their story in the video below.
Available Horses
We currently do not have any Friesians available for adoption, but that can change quickly. The majority of horses that have been surrendered/rescued have medical limitations and cannot be ridden, driven, or bred but still make wonderful companions or pasture pets. That is not to say that we never get a fully functional horse, but it is not typical of the horses we place for adoption.
Please keep in mind that we review completed applications we have on file first when placing a horse. If you are interested, please complete the agreement, including references and photos, and email them back to us. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us.

Herman (Resident)
Herman is a handsome senior gelding who was diagnosed and treated for sesamoiditis when he was younger and thankfully he has remained pasture-sound since then. He was surrendered to the Fenway Foundation in 2018 and was later diagnosed with Cushing's Disease and EPM.
Herman has responded very well to treatment and has been enjoying life as a permanent resident at the Fenway Foundation. Herman is such a gentleman, and he is very fond of spending time with our mares. We are so pleased Herman has been able to enjoy his golden years with us!

Adopted Horses
Whatever the reason, a Friesian Horse may need rescue. Whether the causes are economic, intervention by civil authorities, or abandonment, Friesian horses are entitled to be cared for and treated with the dignity deserving of their nobility.
Since the Fenway Foundation was created in 2010, we have placed more than 70 Friesian horses in loving, forever homes.
