By Sarah Conrad (Kathy Hopkins with Cutter, a Thoroughbred at the KHP.)
Meet Cutter, a big Thoroughbred gelding with tons of personality, who is recovering from injuries so he can find a new home; Truffles, a sweet bay Thoroughbred filly who has just begun training; June Bug, an Appaloosa mare that started life on a Canadian PMU farm; And finally, two Thoroughbred broodmares—Cream Top and Original Heirline—waiting to have their foals in the spring. These horses may have varied backgrounds, but they all have one thing in common thanks to the KyEHC and the Kentucky Horse Park—a second chance.
These are a few of the rescue horses that are getting the attention and care they need thanks to the Kentucky Horse Park, through its new partnership with the Kentucky Equine Humane Center (KyEHC).
You can follow their stories by reading the blog at Club Equestrian.com. Meet the horses and follow them as they go through the new student education program at the Kentucky Horse Park and receive additional training and handling. At the completion of their rehabilitation and training, some will even be available for adoption.
