My story

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

2009 14.2HH Brown/White Paint Quarter Horse Mare

Primrose is a spirited and resilient mare with a bright future ahead. She came to us from a neglect case, but quickly settled in and revealed her bold, curious personality. She's affectionate and companion-oriented—truly an “in-your-pocket” kind of horse who would happily follow you around all day.

Primrose is currently undergoing a veterinary assessment to better understand the extent of her vision. Her blue eyes make her sensitive to light, and she has chronic uveitis, which is managed with a prescription fly mask and medicated eye treatments given three times a week.

She has begun groundwork training and, while she can be pushy at times, she's already showing progress with respect for personal space and responsiveness to pressure and release. With consistent, kind guidance, she’s learning to pick up her feet politely and respond more thoughtfully to her handler.
Primrose is currently barefoot and thrives in a dry lot environment to help manage her weight. She is on a daily ration of McCauley’s M-10 balancer.

While her riding potential hasn’t yet been confirmed, Primrose shows promise and will benefit from a patient, experienced adopter who can continue her training at her own pace. She truly thrives in a social setting and would do best in a home where she can bond with both equine companions and her humans.

Additional adoption info

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.
