Check out this WYMT coverage on the free-roaming horses in Breathitt County. Their reporter spent the afternoon on a tour with us and talking about alternative solutions to help mitigate the issues the community is having instead of choosing total removal.

Protect Breathitt County’s Free Roaming Horses

These old guys like Joker need some extra TLC, to live as best they can. We wormed him in February. Then in March we sedated him and had his teeth floated. We have also fed hay and alfalfa cubes to give him as much extra nutrition as possible. We have offered every bit of support we can, in the field. His f***l sample is pending so we can follow up with additional dewormer as needed. This has all been possible thanks to our donors, tour guests, and volunteers that want to see these horses live happy, healthy and free!

As National Volunteer Week winds down, we didn't want to pass up the opportunity to thank all our volunteers who work hard all year for the free roaming horses! Now that the grass is growing we haven't been feeding hay but we still deliver salt, check on the herds weekly especially as foaling season is in full swing. Other volunteers are busy doing inventories, working with rescue horses, and processing adoption paperwork - we've had 3 recent adoptions!
Our tour guides are also staying busy. We had 10 tours so far this month and a few more are booked!
Thanks AHP volunteers - keep up the good work!

Horses are healing ❤️‍🩹 We’re so happy our rescue “Spot” landed in such a great place. They take excellent care of him, and he helps their clients along their journey.

Have you ever wanted to own a horse but didn’t have the property or the money to maintain one?
We had some local grandparents who wanted to “adopt” a couple horses as a gift for their grandchildren and asked us how we could help make this happen. The kids who visit regularly picked out their favorite horses and we supplied certificates and a private tour to teach them some basic horse knowledge including how to safely approach a horse, different colors and markings, and basic body parts. If you are interested in “virtual adoption” send us a pm for more information!
