Ferris is a 14.1 hh, coming 2 year old sorrel Kentucky mountain horse gelding. Ferris was transferred to the Kentucky Humane Society after he was collected in November of 2025 with a large group of feral horses from a mine site in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. Ferris was collected as a weanling stud colt and was gelded at the Kentucky Humane Society before being sent to training.

Ferris spent three months in a formal training program, where he developed a foundation of basic handling skills. He has learned to lead, lunge in both directions, stand for the farrier, and allow his feet to be picked and handled. Ferris is working on standing tied for longer periods of time and enjoys being groomed. He has done well being held in the cross ties and is quiet around other horses. Ferris has demonstrated that he does best being turned out with an older, solid horse and being kept on a schedule with plenty of structure. As he is still green, he will need an experienced horse owner with a strong understanding of young-horse development, groundwork, and behavior, or someone committed to working alongside a knowledgeable, experienced trainer.

Once Ferris continues to gain all the confidence in the world, we see him being a fun young horse to bring along, one day hopefully hitting the trails. Since he is so young and green, his potential could be endless.

Sponsor A Pet

We need your help to care for the thousands of dogs, cats, and horses we take in each year. The Kentucky Humane Society saves every adoptable animal and provides them with food, shelter, spay/neuter surgeries, medical and behavioral assistance, and then finds them loving homes. Your sponsorship of a special animal will help us save more lives! In addition, you can choose to Sponsor an Animal in honor of a loved one (two-legged or four-legged).

For a sponsorship of $250 or more for a dog or cat – or $500 or more for a horse – you will receive a photo and information about your special animal.
