SURRENDER A HORSE


Through the twists and turns of today's busy world, there may come a time when you can no longer care for your horse: your child out grows his first pony, you move into town or out of state leaving the farm behind, you divorce or change careers and finances are too tight to continue to care for your horse. Whatever the case ~ You have a responsibility to your horse. If you can no longer care for him or house him or feed him, if you can't sell him or give him to another responsible caring owner who can, we're here to help.

The Kentucky Equine Humane Center is a safe refuge for every Kentucky horse and his owner. You want to do the right thing and so do we. Some of these decisions are tough ones. But, we are here to meet your needs and give your horse a second chance.

Every donkey, mule and horse surrendered to the Kentucky Equine Humane Center will be evaluated by our team of qualified licensed volunteer veterinarians. All adoptable equines will be posted on our website and notices will be sent out to an extensive all breed network in an effort to place them in a good home. Whether a sound, competitive athlete, kid's pony, trail horse, companion, or pasture pet we will do our best to place each animal.

If and when however, we are unable to adopt your horse to a new home due to age, temperament or injuries/infirmaries, we will give him the dignity of a respectful end. You will never worry that your horse faces the cruelty of abandonment and neglect or a terrified and brutal end at the slaughter house. You did the right thing!

IF that day ever comes, rest assured, we're here to help!
