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.

Meet Michael, the adoptable horse of the week from the Kentucky Equine Humane Center (KyEHC).

Michael is an 8-year-old, 16.1-hand Thoroughbred gelding. He is currently in the retraining program at KyEHC where is is going nicely and moves out well under saddle at walk, trot and canter. 

Because he raced extensively, the KyEHC veterinarian has suggested that Michael is sound for flat work or as a trail horse.  The trainer is recommending him for an intermediate rider.

This handsome boy is also very kind, gentle and inquisitive, and stands well for the farrier and grooming.

Majestic is a 5-year-old Paint mare who is sound and looking for a home. 

As you can see, she is quite majestic, as her name implies, and at 15.1-hands she is a great size for just about any discipline. 

Majestic has recently been started under saddle and is progressing very well at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center's training program while she looks for a new home.  She was adopted several weeks ago but returned, due to NO FAULT OF HER OWN.

She's friendly, gets along with other horses, and would love to have a good home with someone who can see her potential. 

Imagine how great you'll look on her at horse shows and trail rides!

For more information on Majestic or any of the other horses who are available for adoption at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, go to www.KyEHC.org, call 859-881-5849 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

The Kentucky Equine Humane Center, which partners with the Kentucky Horse Park to help get horses adopted, really needs donations of hay to get their rescued horses through the winter. 

The Kentucky Equine Humane Center is the only equine shelter in Kentucky that accepts all breeds and all disciplines of horses who are at-risk.  Then they retrain and adopt them into new, loving homes. In the past 4 years, approximately 650 of Kentucky's horses, donkeys, ponies, mules and burros have come through the center.
