ABOUT US
Back in the Saddle Horse Adoption, Inc (BITS) is a recognized 501 (c ) (3) non profit organization. We are dedicated in finding new homes and new careers for horses in need. We are an all volunteer organization who spends countless hours of our time to make our program a success. Our facility is located in Linden, PA. BITS came together as a committed group of people who were looking to put their love of horses and their diverse strengths towards a wonderful purpose. We have successfully placed many horses into new homes throughout the United States.
Horses enter our program through donation by caring owners or by rescue from auction houses where their fate most often is the slaughterhouse. Each year, thousands of horses are sent to slaughter. In most cases, the owner unknowingly sends their beloved horse off to auction or gives them away because they do not realize they have other choices. Our organization is in place to make people aware they do have a choice and also to give horses a second chance at a long life in a new home and assures the owner that their beloved animal will be loved and cared for instead of facing the horrors of a slaughter house.

AUCTION FUNDSWe are asking for your help in making a difference in the lives of slaughter bound horses!
We will be traveling to auction on 1/27 and will be purchasing directly from the sales ring.

Donations in the effort can be made safely and securely through PayPal: Please take a moment and help us in helping horses by making a tax deductable donation to this fundraising effort! All funds raised will be used for the purchase and after care of horses pulled from this auction!
NEW FACESPlease visit our Available Horses link to find out more information on the horses we currently have available for adoption!
VISITS TO OUR FACILITYWe love to show off our horses, but do so by appointment only. This is done not only for your safety, but for the safety and security of horses in our care.
Please do not feel free to stop in and stroll the barns and pastures! Keep in mind that we do rescue from auction houses - we have horses at our facility in quarantine and also have brought in horses with aggressive behaviour - without a guided tour you will not know this and could possibly contaminate all of our horses, your own horses or be seriously injured! We do realize you may currently have horses and feel you know them very well - but you do not know OUR horses! Please call 570-974-1087 to make an appointment to visit the horses we have available for adoption. | PLEASE CHIP IN!
Everyone that has been to the barns knows Skye and immediately falls in love with him. Skye is in Sanctuary as he has cancer.
While bringing him in from turnout, we noticed his right eye was very swollen. We immediately flushed the eye and called the vet. Although we do not know what happened, we suspect he took a kick. He does have a laceration on the eye and are trying to save his eye. He is on 4 different medications and will need several checkups. At this time there is a 50/50 chance on saving the eye and if it can be saved, there is another 50/50 chance on him regaining full sight. We generally has funds set aside for emergencies, but with donations non existent we just don't have those funds. We are asking for donations of any amount to help with his vet expenses. Donations can be made safely and securely through PayPal. We would like to thank you in advance for any assistance you can give us for Skye! HAVE YOU SEEN THIS HORSE?
Very unique markings on hinds.
We have been asked to assist the former owner of this horse to help locate her and make sure she is safe. She has lost contact with the people that had her. She is a Thoroughbred foaled 2-11-1999 in Kentucky. Her Registered name is Fantasy Jet - barn name is Sophie. She is 16.1 HH - bay with a star. She has white on the back of her pasterns in both hinds - more on the left than the right. She said the couple that had her lived along Route 15 in Williamsport and had alpacas, goats and a paint. She did race so she will have a tattoo. Please CONTACT US if you know where she is or if you have seen her. Her former owner just wants to make sure she is OK!
