About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred Gender: Mare Age: 18 Height: 15.2hh Color: Chestnut Disciplines: Companion Adoption fee: $500 Location: Kentucky Equine Adoption Center — Nicholasville, KY 2008 15.2 HH Chestnut Thoroughbred Mare “Candy” arrived at our facility in July 2025 through animal control as part of a neglect case. Severely emaciated upon arrival, she was placed on a carefully monitored refeeding program and has made remarkable progress in her recovery. Her foal, Pixie Magic, also made a full recovery and has since been adopted. Candy now enjoys full-time pasture living with a small group of mares. Candy is a confident mare with a strong personality and a gentle nature. She enjoys the company of other horses and carries herself with quiet confidence. She is excellent for the farrier and is currently pasture sound. Due to significant damage to her right front fetlock, believed to be the result of an untreated joint infection prior to her arrival, Candy is not suitable as a riding horse. She will need a quiet retirement home where she can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle with appropriate care and management. Candy is a resilient mare who has overcome so much and continues to show her strength every day. With her confident personality and gentle spirit, she would make a wonderful companion for someone looking to provide a safe, peaceful home where she can enjoy the retirement she deserves.
