The Kentucky Humane Society rescued a starving, orphaned foal last month from a remote mountain in Eastern Kentucky. The other horses in the free-roaming herd were striking and biting the weak foal, making it even more unlikely he would survive. We transported him to an equine hospital and named him Little Orphan Andy. Andy was too weak

Vincent arrived at KHS last week with a painful, life-threatening tail injury. We’re not sure what happened, but our best guess is that he was in a fight with another animal. This poor cat’s tail has been degloved, meaning the skin on his tail peeled back exposing the muscle underneath. These types of injuries require

Last month, with permission from local authorities, the KHS Equine C.A.R.E. team caught and rescued 10 free-roaming horses from starvation in the Eastern Kentucky Mountains. The access road to reach the group was so poorly maintained that it caused significant damage to our trailer, but there was no way we were leaving those poor horses
