My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

2001 Thoroughbred Gelding, 15.2h

Everest was transferred to KyEAC from another organization several years ago and just hasn't been able to find an adopter after all his time here. He is a friendly gelding who enjoys attention and generally stays mid-pack without any drama in the herd hierarchy. He has been a kind friend to an aged, somewhat vision-impaired gelding in his large pasture, and we are grateful for the friendship he has provided to the other horse. Everest may have been a jumper or eventer in his earlier days and still seems to think he has important, exciting tasks to tend to under saddle, though his current age and condition calls for a more relaxed lifestyle. Everest has a bony growth on the side of his lower jaw that has not seemed to bother or hinder him in any way during his stay here and never changes; the vet advised us to just leave it alone. However, many prospective adopters have admitted that this feature was a significant factor in their deciding to take another horse instead of unique Everest.

We still think Everest has the potential to be a fantastic horse for someone who's willing to look past his minor imperfections and appreciate the easy-going, good-tempered guy that he is. Come meet Everest today!
