This was my second visit to Breathitt County to see the free roaming horses as part of the KEEP Equine Luncheon Series. Imagine yourself standing in the middle of a herd of horses. Although feral, they've acclimated to people and will come up to you for a nose boop or a carrot. The stallions can be aggressive while protecting their families, but generally it is safe to allow them to approach. Use common sense. I hail the Appalachian Horse Project for their passion in protecting the horses. 76 read more

We booked the wild horse tour without knowing what to expect, but it ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. We met our guide, Marcia, at the farmers market in Jackson, KY. Right away, it was clear she knew the area and the horses inside and out. The tour started with some quick local history and a look at old buildings around town--short, simple, and interesting. Then we headed up the mountain. Within minutes, we saw our first band of wild horses on the side of the road. Marcia recognized them and said they typically avoid people, which held true even after we tried a few carrots. Still, the kids were thrilled--they saw wild horses in real life, and that alone felt like a win. But it only got better. Not long after, we came across a single horse in a field. We got out of the car, and to our surprise, she ran right up to us. Our 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son got to pet a wild horse--that moment alone made the tour worth it. As the day went on, we saw more and more horses. Some were heavily pregnant, some had foals or colts, and many came surprisingly close. Every stop felt like a new story waiting to happen. By the end of the tour, we'd seen several bands of wild horses, and each one left an impression. This experience more than exceeded expectations and gave our family a day we'll be talking about for years. If you're anywhere near the area, book this tour. And if you're lucky enough to get Marcia as your guide, you're in for something special. read more

We had a wonderful time viewing and petting the free roaming horses of Kentucky. Our amazing tour guide Liz took us on a little tour of unique historic spots in Breathitt county along the way up the mountain. We saw several herds of horses along the ride. We were able to stop and get out and pet the horses and feed them snacks. I think our favorite horse was "Stache". The proceeds go to helping take care of the horses such as vet care, etc. Our tour guide had told us there is a barn with Airbnb in the works but need more donations. Once completed, I would LOVE to stay! This was such a unique experience and I highly recommend it to anyone around the area! read more

The Appalachian Horse Project offers tours in Breathitt County, and we had a wonderful time on our excursion with tour guide Liz. She shared some history of this eastern Kentucky region as we drove up into the foothills. Once we were near the top, we found shy horses and super friendly horses, but they were all beautiful to see. These are free-roaming horses, and the AHP monitors their health and safety. The breathtaking mountain views were icing on the cake! This tour is great for all ages. read more

Absolutely false as I took to the vet because she wasn't going. Vet told me she had kidney failure and cancer and recommended putting her out of pain. I told little victories this and said please check with the vet. They wouldn't go to the trouble and denied me. Be wary of this misinformation clinic that would rather an animal suffered instead of doing what's right. I love animals. Stop donating to this place if you are. Thanks Pete Anderson

With literally hundreds of dogs and cats, Little Victories is one of the most amazing, hectic, and sometimes overwhelming nonprofit rescues I've seen. Their mission is clear, their animals loving, and their volunteers impressively devoted. As with any rescue, I would recommend doing thorough background checks on the history of any animal you adopt. While these workers and volunteers are compassionate, they don't always have up-to-date information on their animals (you'll need to contact someone in charge or a local veterinarian to confirm details). The only reason I stress this point is because even the best of animals have certain temperaments and needs - usually based on their history - and thus, it is always wise to have the most information when adopting. If you just want to get involved on the volunteer side of things, Little Victories is a wonderful haven for these animals, all of whom seem to understand their situation and the hope the place provides them. They are fed well, walked frequently, and socialized as best as possible given the strange limitations of using a converted home as a shelter. A visit to the so-called "Cathouse" is a must: to see a whole, one-story bungalow overrun with cats is not a sight easily forgotten.
