Cashew, Grade For Adoption In Lexington, Kentucky

Price:

$1,200

Location:

Lexington, KY

Description:

2013 Appalachian Brumby Mare, 13.1h Cashew arrived at the Center after being gathered off an Eastern Kentucky strip mine, classifying her as an “Appalachian Brumby”. She was feral, pregnant, and very skeptical of humans. She gave birth to a healthy colt in the spring of 2022. After being weaned, her colt found a wonderful home. Cashew has since been halter broke, taught all fundamental groundwork, had her first bath, been blanketed, knows how to pick up her feet and stand for a quiet, patient farrier. Cashew has been saddled and lunged at the walk, trot, and canter. She will be ready to be started under saddle soon! Cashew has taken great strides in gaining confidence in herself and her trainer, being more trusting of people, and trying new things. This sure-footed gal is sound and will be physically capable of going in any direction, though she does show a particular braveness when going over the obstacles in our area. Cashew can still be skeptical and jumpy at times, so she will need an experienced trainer-type home, with a calm, gentle, and patient hand. **Due to her feral history, Cashew will only be adopted to a trainer with feral horse training experience.** Total price includes: Adoption Fee ($1,200) + Deposit ($250)* = $1,450 *At KYEAC, we require adopters to complete an inspection on the adopted horse 6 and 12 months following adoption. To ensure adopters comply with their inspections, a $250 deposit is required on all horses priced under $2,000 and a $500 deposit is required on all horses priced over $2,000. This deposit is already calculated into the adoption fee. If the adopter complies with the inspections, this deposit will be fully refunded after the requirements of the 6 and 12-month inspection have been met to our satisfaction. If the adopter does not comply with their inspections, their deposit will be forfeited.Adoption processAdoption Process Once a complete application is received, KyEAC will begin the screening process. This usually takes about 2-3 days, depending upon how easy it is to make contact with your references. KyEAC will notify you when your application has been approved, and you may then make an appointment with KyEAC to visit the equine(s) you are interested in adopting. Adopters are responsible for transportation arrangements and costs at the time of the adoption and in the event of return. Adoption fees are non-refundable. We also require adopters to complete an inspection on the adopted horse 6 and 12 months following adoption. To ensure adopters comply with their inspections, a $250 deposit is required on all horses priced under $2,000, and a $500 deposit is required on all horses priced at $2,000 and up. This deposit is already calculated into the adoption fee. If the adopter complies with the inspections, this deposit will be fully refunded after the requirements of the 6 and 12-month inspection have been met to our satisfaction. If the adopter does not comply with their inspections, their deposit will be forfeited. Terms of the Equine Adoption and Placement Agreement: The equine may not be raced, bred, sold, given away, assigned or disposed of, nor may any interest in the equine be transferred. The Adopter may only release the equine from his/her care to KyEAC for one year. Transportation arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the adopter at the time of placement and in the event of return. KyEAC has the right to visit the property where the equine resides. If, in the sole discretion of KyEAC, it is determined that the living arrangements and/or care of the equine are inadequate or inappropriate, KyEAC reserves the right to seize and re-take possession of the equine. If the Adopter changes the location of the equine or changes the equine's veterinarian, KyEAC must be provided with the new stabling and veterinarian information within 30 days of said change. In addition, the Adopter agrees to provide KyEAC with any change in his/her address within 30 days of said change. The Adopter agrees to forward a veterinarian's brief statement of the adopted equine's residence, general condition, weight, teeth and hoof condition (a brief health check form will be provided by KyEAC for this purpose twice a year). This form is to be returned to KyEAC six months from the date of adoption and on the one year anniversary of the adoption date. Any equine returned to KyEAC must possess a current negative coggins and health certificate, which is the responsibility of the Adopter to provide.Shelter locationTours of our farm are conducted on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday year round via Horse Country tours.
