The ASPCA Right Horse program is revolutionizing long-distance horse adoption by breaking down geographic and logistical barriers through its online platform, myrighthorse.org, and supportive initiatives like the Horse Adoption Express (HAE). This platform connects potential adopters with adoptable horses nationwide, providing comprehensive information, videos, and virtual tours to simulate in-person experiences. The HAE program further facilitates adoption by offering transportation networks and financial stipends to help move horses to new homes, making long-distance adoption more accessible and affordable. Notably, about 70-75% of adoptions through the program are long-distance, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Organizations like After the Races, an ASPCA Right Horse Partner, also contribute to this success by maintaining transparency and thorough matching processes, ensuring adopters are well-informed and comfortable with their choices. Their approach has led to a high rate of successful long-distance adoptions, including placements as far as Canada and the Bahamas. Overall, the ASPCA Right Horse program fosters a supportive community, encouraging adopters to confidently pursue horse adoption regardless of distance, with a safety net in place should the adoption not work out.
