A beautiful spotted stallion was caught running loose in Magoffin County in January 2020 with several other horses caught in corral. He was broke to lead and gelded. He was adopted in February and his new owners are continuing his training and will be doing trail riding soon!

Moonshine - Adopted

There was a stallion on some Knott County property causing damage to private property. We called him Curly; He went unclaimed and was gelded and adopted in July 2019. His new owner named him Moonshine and with lots of time and patience, she had him undersaddle by December 2019 (You will find other pictures and videos of him on our Facebook page)

RAVEN - adopted

Raven was found wandering around on a road in Knott County in early February, and was severely underweight.  She was adopted in late February, 2018 by a  couple in Indiana who had been following the Appalachian Horse Project's Facebook page. Here is a report from them at the end of March:

"Raven is settling in well here in Indiana. She had her 1st vet visit here and is healthy, although she didn't care for having her temperature taken lol. My vet puts her age around 18. In the next couple of months she will have her teeth floated and a farrier visit. She has picked out her own "room" and will go stand in it when we start getting feed ready. She continues to gain weight. Raven is doing great here and we look foreword to having many years together with her. Thank you again for choosing us to adopt her."

 

rAGU - adoption pending
August, 2018

In April, somebody reported a skinny horse in Knott County. After being seen by a vet and put in a foster home, “Ragu” steadily gained weight and was easily broke to ride. He has no stall vices and could become an excellent trail horse in the right setting with some training. At 14.3 hands and 8 years old, he is a nice size with lots of years ahead of him. He is a Tenneesse Walking Horse gelding.

cocopuff - adopted
March, 2018

This adorable pony mare was found after she was found in a Knott County farm, perhaps mistakenly believing with her bay and white coat she could blend in with the cows. The farm owner moved her to a cow pasture without cattle in it. Volunteers with the Appalachian Horse Project picked her up, moved her to a foster home, and found her a new home. Cocopuff was adopted by a ten year old girl involved with 4-H in Leslie County.
