My story

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

2011 15.2HH Bay Thoroughbred Mare

Meet Teelfa, a stunning off-track Thoroughbred (OTTB) mare with an impressive racing career! With 26 starts and $151,307 in earnings, she’s ready to shine in her next chapter.

Teelfa is best suited for a flatwork-only home and would thrive with an experienced rider or an intermediate rider working alongside a trainer. She has been diagnosed with very mild kissing spine and is currently on Equioxx, which has helped her show steady improvement along with monthly chiropractic care. She will be restarting under saddle soon. Teelfa is light and quick in her groundwork, very responsive to her trainer, and enjoys having a clear connection.

Her current routine includes one pound of M30, a joint supplement, and front nail-on shoes. She is a forward-thinking mare who benefits from consistency and enjoys working in partnership with her person.

Teelfa can be prone to rain rot and sweet itch on her hind fetlocks, but with regular care, these conditions are managed. She does best in a mare-only field, where she enjoys the company of her friends. An easy keeper with no dietary pasture restrictions, Teelfa is food motivated, affectionate, and happiest when she has a routine. She will truly thrive with a compassionate rider who appreciates her sensitivity and eagerness to connect.

Adoption Process

Once a complete application is received, KYEAC will begin the screening process. This usually takes about 5-7 days, depending upon how easy it is to make contact with your references.

KYEAC will notify you when your application has been approved, and you may then make an appointment with KYEAC to visit the equine(s) you are interested in adopting.

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.

More about this rescue

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.
