Forever Candy's Story

2008 15.2 HH Chestnut Thoroughbred Mare<br/><br/>“Candy” is a mare who has endured a very difficult few years. She arrived at our facility in July 2025 from a neglect case and was immediately placed on our refeeding program, which is still ongoing. Despite her rough start, Candy has made significant strides in her recovery and continues to improve daily.<br/><br/>Candy is strongly bonded to the mare she arrived with, Lightning Fire, and currently experiences some separation anxiety when they are apart. We expect this to ease as both mares fully recover, complete their refeeding program, and are gradually introduced to one of our mare herds, where Candy can form additional relationships. Within herd dynamics, Candy tends to rank higher on the social hierarchy and carries herself with quiet confidence. She is also excellent for the farrier.<br/><br/>Due to significant damage to her right front fetlock—believed to be the result of an untreated joint infection before her arrival—Candy will not be suitable as a riding horse. While she is currently pasture sound, she will be seeking a quiet retirement home once her recovery is complete, where she can enjoy a comfortable and well-deserved retirement.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $500

Kentucky Equine Adoption Center Inc.'s Adoption Policy
At the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center (KYEAC), we meet horses from all walks of life. In order to adopt one of our horses, we require you to fill out and submit an adoption application. KYEAC will not process any application unless the required photos, proof of residence, and application fee are included. If approved, we will put you in touch with one of our trainers who will work with you to find your perfect equine partner(s). NOTE: All adopters must sign an Equine Adoption and Placement Agreement and pay the adoption fee before the equine leaves KYEAC. 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.
