We are honored to receive a 2025 EQUUS Foundation grant and to be selected for the Augusta Mills Equestrian – Matt Metell Horse Whisperer Award. 🐴✨

This award, established in 2021, recognizes dedication to the welfare of horses, and we are grateful to carry this mission forward every day at KYEAC.

Thank you to Lynn Coakley and the EQUUS Foundation for believing in our work and helping more horses find safe, loving homes. 💙

✨ SUCCESS STORY SUNDAY ✨

Theo’s story began when his mom, Terra, arrived at the Center in foal from the feral herds of eastern Kentucky. Not long after, Theo was born and grew up right here on the farm. He quickly became a favorite among staff and visitors. This year, we brought him to Equine Affaire—and that’s where he met his forever family! 🐴💙

His adopter says he’s truly the greatest little dude. From day one, his personality stood out, but since going home he’s blossomed into the sweetest young man. He’s definitely shot up in height, and his mischievous side is shining through—no glove, hat, or keychain is safe around him. 😂

It’s clear Theo is exactly where he belongs. 💕 If you’re interested in adoption, learn more on our website: https://www.kyeac.org/adopt

✨ Just look at that gorgeous, shiny coat — all thanks to our amazing partner, McCauley's Feeds!

Valor is a sweet and affectionate thoroughbred gelding with a heart as big as his personality. When he arrived in January 2025 through an animal control case, he was in need of some serious TLC. Since then, he’s gained healthy weight, is thriving, and continues to shine inside and out.

We’re so grateful to McCauley’s for helping keep our herd happy and healthy. 💚

Now, Valor is ready for his forever home! Learn more about him here 👉 https://www.kyeac.org/product-page/valor
