My story

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

2007 15.3HH Bay Thoroughbred Mare

”Dixie” is a smart and athletic off-the-track Thoroughbred (OTTB) with a heart full of potential. She is sensitive to your energy and seat, responding well to riders who are calm and quiet. Dixie is an eager-to-please mare who thrives in a consistent training routine and is currently working on building topline muscle, learning to relax through her body, and move correctly.

Dixie is a quick learner with a strong desire to please, making her an ideal match for a rider who values a true partnership. She would do well in a knowledgeable or training-focused home, especially one interested in dressage or other low-impact disciplines. She requires monthly chiropractic care to stay comfortable under saddle and prefers a bitless English bridle. She also does best with front shoes but is otherwise an easy-keeper who requires no extra feed and does well in the pasture.

If you're looking for a thoughtful, hardworking horse to grow and succeed with, Dixie could be the one for you!

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.
