Pitch Dark's Story

2019 16.1HH Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding Meet Pitch Dark, a calm and easygoing gentleman who loves companionship and takes life in stride. This sweet boy faces a few significant physical challenges. Pitch Dark has a bone chip and bone spur on his left front fetlock, along with a cyst in his left front P1 bone and some effusion in his left stifle. These compounding issues cause him to experience periods of significant unsoundness. He is also a hard keeper and is currently maintained on 8 pounds of McCauley’s Top Breeder daily, 6 ounces of rice bran oil, and 1 Equioxx tablet, along with regular alfalfa to help him keep weight on. Because sugars in grass can increase inflammation in his feet and worsen lameness, he is on a dry lot while we continue to troubleshoot his needs. Recently, he received an injection in his left front fetlock to support his comfort. 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.
