Romeo's Story

2020 16.2HH Bay Thoroughbred Gelding<br/><br/>Meet Romeo! We unfortunately don’t know much about Romeo’s history. His previous owner passed away, leaving him on his own until he was brought to us through Animal Control. Since arriving, he has been thriving in our care and steadily gaining weight.<br/><br/>Romeo appears to be an unraced, unregistered Thoroughbred, approximately five years old. Once he reaches a healthy weight, we plan to begin his under-saddle training. We don’t believe he has been ridden before, but with soundness, patience, and the right guidance, we’re hopeful he will grow into a wonderful riding partner. We’ll learn more about his potential once his training progresses.<br/><br/>Right now, Romeo is focusing on the basics: picking up his feet and building trust with people. He can become defensive when working with more than one handler at a time, so he will need a trainer who can communicate clearly and calmly without pushing him too far, too fast. Smart and opinionated, Romeo likes to do things on his own timeline, but he is also a flashy mover with lots of promise. <br/><br/>With continued groundwork, recovery, and patient training, this sweet boy will shine as a loyal and rewarding partner, just as charming as his name suggests.<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.

Romeo is from Kentucky Equine Adoption Center Inc.
