Vicki and angel are amazing horses and I love watching Vicki pregnant belly move on this…read morelivestream. 5 STARS!

This (chilly!) morning we had a really special opportunity to tour Kentucky Equine Adoption Center…read more(KyEAC) as part of Horse Country's community-based event: Meet the Neighbors. I'm SO happy this annual program has returned post-COVID! KyEAC is the largest all-breed equine rescue in Kentucky, situated on 72 rolling acres on Catnip Hill Road in Nicholasville. Right now they have 48 horses available for adoption, with 4 more on the way, and a waitlist a mile long. At any given time they have ~50% thoroughbreds, plus wild/feral horses, and horses from the strip mines of Eastern Kentucky. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, part of their mission is to find the perfect home and purpose for every horse - whether as therapeutic companions, trail horses, or pasture ponies. On the tour - led by Susan Powers - we learned how KyEAC operates, met all the horses and heard their stories, and were treated to a short demonstration in the arena. I was floored. The staff and volunteers at KyEAC are doing amazing work advocating and caring for our most noble and precious symbols of the Bluegrass State. This tour felt much more impactful and important than the standard, showboat, multimillion dollar farms with active racehorses or breeding operations (which are fun, too, I've seen several!), and I would encourage anyone to book a tour (link below) with Horse Country and experience this wonderful place for themselves! https://visithorsecountry.com/book-your-tour/#id=kentucky-equine-humane-center-nicholasville

As an animal lover, I was thrilled when my wife told me we were going to visit retired racehorses…read more With the cold and snow rolling in, I was worried the tour might be canceled--but thankfully, it was still on. We gathered with the other guests, warming up in the office before heading out. For us humans, the weather was a bit much, but the horses absolutely loved it. One thing that really impressed me was how interactive the experience was. We weren't limited to standing behind a fence--we were able to feed the horses carrots and admire them up close. It made the visit feel personal and unforgettable. About halfway through, we stopped in the barn to watch a short film about the farm's history and mission--an informative (and very welcome!) break from the snow. Afterward, we ventured back out to meet the remaining horses. Despite the chilly weather, we had a wonderful time. If you love animals or just want a unique, heartfelt experience, this tour is absolutely worth it.

What an amazing place!! The founder fulfilled his dream of offering a retirement space for retired…read morethoroughbreds. You are able to visit these fantastic athletes up close on the tour and feed them carrots. Gorgeous landscape of rolling hills on the farm. Easy to walk. Jill, our tour leader, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the horses. If you love horses, you'll fall in love with this place. If you aren't a horse lover, you will likely become one by the time you leave!
