My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

1999 Kentucky Mountain Horse Mare, 14.3h

Ruffles is a laidback, sweet gal who has been used in both our Stable Foundations and Equine EdVentures educations programs. She does great around kids and larger groups of people. She is patient, kind, and loves a good grooming session. Ruffles is a great teacher and has been used to teach groundwork, basic horsemanship, parts of the horse, and much more to kids and adults seeking to further their equine knowledge. Ruffles is solid and confident in her groundwork, and stands tied patiently when in company. Though she is pasture sound with the help of front shoes, she is a non-riding companion only due to arthritis and slight founder. Ruffles does have Cushing’s disease and requires daily medication. Special care should also be taken to meet her dietary needs and restrictions to prevent any further laminitic episodes, and to keep her in good body condition.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process

Once a complete application is received, KyEAC will begin the screening process. This usually takes about 2-3 days, depending upon how easy it is to make contact with your references.
KyEAC will notify you when your application has been approved, and you may then make an appointment with KyEAC to visit the equine(s) you are interested in adopting.

Adopters are responsible for transportation arrangements and costs at the time of the adoption and in the event of return.

Adoption fees are non-refundable.

Please also note that Adopter agrees that the adopted equine may not be raced, bred, sold, given away or assigned by the Adopter, except as otherwise provided in the adoption contract.

Further, we require adopters to complete an inspection on the adopted equine at 6 and 12 months after the date of the adoption. Provided the photos and veterinary report from these two inspections are satisfactory, KYEAC will then transfer full ownership of the equine to the Adopter at 12 months via a transfer letter.

More about this rescue

The Kentucky Equine Adoption Center (KyEAC) is the largest all-breed equine rescue in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Nestled on 72 acres in the rolling hills of Jessamine County, KyEAC is the home and training ground for approximately 50 equines at all stages of rehabilitation and retraining. We are not a sanctuary; part of our mission is to find the perfect home and purpose for all of our horses–from high level dressage to therapeutic equine companions, from trail horses to pasture ponies.
