🎁🐴 Wishlist Wednesday 🐴🎁

This week’s wishlist item may look simple, but it plays a BIG role behind the scenes at KYEAC! We’re currently in need of Duck Tape to help with hoof packs and other fixes around the farm.

If you’d like to support our herd, consider purchasing an item from our wishlist and having it shipped directly to us. Every donation—big or small—helps us provide the best care possible for our horses 💙

🌟 Success Story Sunday 🌟

This April marked Topaz’s 2-year adoption anniversary, and we were so happy to receive this wonderful update from her adopter! 💙

Topaz is thriving in her home and continuing to mature both physically and mentally. Her adopter says her calm personality has really come through — and sometimes a little “lazy” is exactly what you want in a young horse. 😉

She’s also loving life with her pasture buddy, even if she’s still the younger, more playful one at the barn. Training has been progressing steadily, with lots of groundwork and new challenges to keep her mind engaged while she prepares for saddle work next year.

We love seeing horses like Topaz grow into confident, happy partners in the right homes. Thank you to her adopter for giving her such a bright future — and for continuing to share her journey with us! 🐴

It truly takes a village, and we are so incredibly grateful for ours. 💙🐴

Vicki’s successful delivery and the safe arrival of her beautiful c**t would not have been possible without the dedication and support of so many wonderful people and organizations working together behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to our amazing KYEAC Barn Team, staff, and volunteers for the countless hours of care, preparation, and monitoring leading up to the big day.

We are deeply grateful to Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Veterinarians, Jordan Kiviniemi-Moore, and Laurie Metcalfe for their guidance and support throughout Vicki’s pregnancy.

Special thanks to Emily at Taylor Made Farm for generously donating two pints of colostrum to help ensure our c**t got the healthiest possible start in life.

Thank you to Chloe at CRF Remote Equine Monitoring for providing overnight monitoring and helping us keep a close eye on Vicki. Thanks to you, we arrived at the farm in time to support Vicki.

And finally, thank you to explore.org for providing the live camera feed that allowed so many people to witness this special moment and follow Vicki’s journey along the way.

🌾🐴 Hay & Straw Needed! 🐴🌾

Even though it's warming up in the Bluegrass, our horses still need hay and straw! We’re hoping our amazing community can help us stock up for the horses in our care. Right now, we are in need of:

✨ Horse quality grass hay
✨ Alfalfa hay and/or alfalfa grass mix for our nursing mare, Vicki!
✨ Straw for our resident donkey, Ferris!

All donations must be:
✔️ Horse quality
✔️ Mold free
✔️ Stored indoors

If you have leftover hay or straw you’d be willing to donate, we would be so grateful for your support. Every bale helps us continue providing quality care for the horses who depend on us each day. 💙

✔️ Need pickup assistance? We may be able to help coordinate pickup for local donations.

Please send us a message or email us at [email protected] if you can help!

🛒✨ Wishlist Wednesday ✨🛒

This week, one of the items we need is Desitin Daily Defense Rash Cream! While it may seem like an unusual horse care item, we use it to help protect the pink noses of some of our horses from sunburn during these sunny Kentucky days. ☀️🐴

💕 If you’d like to help support the horses in our care, you can shop directly from our Amazon Wishlist here: https://a.co/06iFhcSj

Around-the-clock foal watch is underway at the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center! 🐴💙

Our Warmblood mare, Vicki, is getting closer to welcoming her foal, and our incredible team has been working tirelessly day and night to make sure she has the safest, calmest, and most supported experience possible.

We are so grateful for every staff member and volunteer sacrificing sleep and personal time to care for Vicki and her future foal. Please help us shower them with some love in the comments below! 👏💕

If you’d like to help keep our foal watch crew fueled during these long nights, we would be so thankful for Starbucks gift cards, snacks, or encouraging notes for the team. Your kindness means more than you know and helps keep spirits high while we wait for this exciting arrival! ☕🍕💌

Thank you for being part of the KYEAC family and for cheering on both Vicki and the amazing humans caring for her every step of the way. 🐎✨
