About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred Gender: Mare Age: 5 Height: 15.3hh Color: Bay Disciplines: Companion, Therapy - Non-Riding Adoption fee: $600 Location: Kentucky Equine Adoption Center — Nicholasville, KY 2021 15.3 HH Bay Thoroughbred Mare Meet Wailua, a beautiful mare with so much love to give. After retiring from racing in 2025, Wailua came to the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center to begin a quieter chapter of her life. She has settled wonderfully into life off the track, enjoying time in the pasture with her friends, and is now looking for a loving non-riding home where she can enjoy her retirement as a spoiled and cherished companion. Wailua is available as a companion due to a fracture in her right front sesamoid. Although her riding days are behind her, she is pasture sound and happy spending her days out in the field. She is currently barefoot and requires only routine trims. To help keep her comfortable and feeling her best, Wailua receives 3 quarts of Quantify® daily along with Equioxx. We can’t say enough good things about this sweet mare. Wailua absolutely adores attention and stands beautifully for grooming in the barn. She has a kind, gentle presence and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with people. We’ll also be introducing her to some basic groundwork as we continue getting to know her and helping her settle into life beyond the racetrack. For someone looking for a friendly pasture companion to love and spoil, Wailua has all the makings of a wonderful match. After her racing career, she’s ready for a home where the only thing asked of her is to enjoy being a horse—and to soak up all the attention she deserves.
