Kentucky Equine Adoption Center Inc.
Our Mission
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.
Adoption Policy
At the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center (KyEAC), we meet horses from all walks of life. In order to adopt one of our horses, we require you to fill out and submit an adoption application. KyEAC will not process any application unless the required photos, proof of residence, and application fee are included. We will then contact you to let you know if your application meets our requirements. If approved, we will put you in touch with one of our trainers who will work with you to find your perfect equine partner(s).
NOTE: All adopters must sign an Equine Adoption and Placement Agreement and pay the adoption fee before the equine leaves KyEAC.
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.
