is one of
Robertson County, Tennessee's oldest and best known tourist
attractions, drawing visitors and potential adopters from almost
every state in the union for more than two decades.
"We've been in the business of finding good homes for horses
and burros for a long time, and we want to find high quality
adopters for all our animals," says Paula Carr. "A good, loving
home with the means to feed and care for each animal is our
goal." |
|
Carr's
facilities have processed over 20,000 animals since 1979 – not
only adopting but holding, sorting, vetting, hoof trimming, and
medical attention.
This has been
the site for many Government meetings, many well known horse
trainer’s shows, a Wild Horse and Burro Days celebration event
held every year for 15
years, and a Horse show competition with high money and trophy
awards.
Many horses and
burros have been trained for the general public.
The facility
includes a "Horsepital" for recovery for sick or hurt animals.

Carr's Wild
Horse & Burro Center is located with easy access to Interstate
highways, for easy semi-truck turnarounds and off loading.
In December of 2006, Carr’s Wild
Horse Center received the Satellite adoption contract for three
years. We have won this contract every three years since 1980.
Randall and Paula take a semi with panels and trucks with gooseneck
trailers full of water buckets, hay, tolls, and haltering chutes
to a designated place and set up for horses and burros arriving
to be adopted out for the weekend. |
