Gatsby's Story

2010 16.2HH Bay Thoroughbred Gelding<br/><br/>Meet Gatsby, a gorgeous OTTB (Off-the-Track Thoroughbred) with a heart of gold. Registered under the name Shahs Luger, Gatsby is a sweet, middle-of-the-herd kind of guy. He’s a quick learner with a curious mind, making him a fantastic candidate for liberty work. Through consistent groundwork, he’s gaining confidence and showing incredible progress.<br/><br/>Gatsby has been diagnosed with grade 1 DSLD (Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis), which means he is in the early stages of the condition. While DSLD can progress over time, he is currently sound and preparing to begin under-saddle training. To get ready, Gatsby is building confidence through groundwork and will be lightly rideable once started. He is currently wearing nail-on shoes on all four feet due to thin soles, which will help his hooves develop greater depth.<br/><br/>This special boy has a history of neglect, so he’s looking for a patient, understanding adopter to help him truly blossom. Gatsby thrives with soft but firm boundaries, a compassionate leader, and someone attuned to body language. He’s very food motivated, an easy keeper, and eager to please, qualities that make him both endearing and rewarding to work with. <br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $900<br/><br/>Apply today at: https://form.jotform.com/231711475494156

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.
