Update on Recent Equine Rescue
On Monday we introduced you to 39 horses who had been previously collected by an individual who did not have permission from local authorities to do so. You’ve probably been wondering: what happens next?
Simply put, KHS does not have the capacity for all 39 horses at our Willow Hope Farm. In conjunction with the ASPCA, Kentucky Horse Council and Appalachian Horse Project, we were able to secure safe, peaceful holding sites for all of the horses.
As of today, a total of 9 horses are safe and sound at KHS’s Willow Hope Farm. Our partners at Appalachian Horse Project graciously opened their doors to another 10 of these horses, and Kentucky Equine Adoption Center also agreed to take in 3. The remaining 17 horses are currently housed at our holding site, but will soon be transferred to other reputable rescue organizations.
We can’t wait to introduce you to our new arrivals! We’ll be hard at work this week getting everyone settled, but we’ll provide updates as we learn more about each horse as an individual. In the meantime, please support our ongoing efforts to rescue and rehabilitate horses in need by visiting kyhumane.org/equine/give.
