My story

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

2020 16.2HH Bay Thoroughbred Gelding

Meet Romeo! We unfortunately don’t know much about Romeo’s history. His previous owner passed away, leaving him on his own until he was brought to us through Animal Control. Since arriving, he has been thriving in our care and steadily gaining weight.

Romeo appears to be an unraced, unregistered Thoroughbred, approximately five years old. Once he reaches a healthy weight, we plan to begin his under-saddle training. We don’t believe he has been ridden before, but with soundness, patience, and the right guidance, we’re hopeful he will grow into a wonderful riding partner. We’ll learn more about his potential once his training progresses.

Right now, Romeo is focusing on the basics: picking up his feet and building trust with people. He can become defensive when working with more than one handler at a time, so he will need a trainer who can communicate clearly and calmly without pushing him too far, too fast. Smart and opinionated, Romeo likes to do things on his own timeline, but he is also a flashy mover with lots of promise.

With continued groundwork, recovery, and patient training, this sweet boy will shine as a loyal and rewarding partner, just as charming as his name suggests.

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.

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.
