Lightning Fire's Story

2017 15.2 HH Dark Bay Thoroughbred Mare<br/><br/>“Lightning” is a sweet and gentle mare who has already endured more than her fair share in her young life. She came to us from a neglect case in July 2025 and was immediately placed on a carefully managed refeeding program, which is still ongoing. Despite her rough start, Lightning Fire has made wonderful progress and continues to show steady improvement.<br/><br/>What we’ve come to know is a truly lovely horse. She enjoys human company, happily soaks up grooming time, and loves nothing more than relaxing in the sun for an afternoon nap. While she has not yet begun formal groundwork—allowing her to conserve calories during her recovery—she has proven to be well-mannered and kind. Lightning stands quietly for the farrier, ties calmly for grooming, and leads very nicely.<br/><br/>During her lameness evaluation, Lightning flexed positively in her right hock and right hind fetlock. However, her X-rays were not concerning, and her care team expects improvement as she continues to gain weight and build muscle. Once her weight is fully restored, she will begin a gradual rehabilitation program, with her return to work closely monitored to ensure her comfort and long-term soundness.<br/><br/>Lightning Fire is a special mare with a soft soul, and with the right support, she has a bright future ahead. She’ll be available for adoption once she’s reached a healthy weight.<br/><br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $900

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.
