Adoptable Horse of the Week: Port Allen

Written by

Meet the adoptable horse of the week, Port Allen. 

He's an 8-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, 15.3-hands, who had a previous life as a show hunter.  He is currently in the retraining program at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, where he's doing very well (the photo above was taken before he came to the Humane Center).

Port Allen went to first horse show in April and did very well in that new situation. He is personable and has good ground manners.  He does have an old suspensory ligament injury but he is fully recovered.  He would probably be best suited for flatwork. In his retraining program it appears that he might make a nice dressage horse. He has requested an advanced beginner or intermediate rider. 

At 8 years of age, he is just starting to come into his best years, so he'd love to have a new home with a wonderful owner. 

For more information about Port Allen or any of the other adoptable horses at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, contact them at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , 859-881-5849 or www.kyehc.org
