Niall (8/15)

Niall: Niall's dam was rescued from a nurse mare farm in Paris, KY along with Lady & Liam in 2014. She was discovered to be in foal and after a year of waiting she came to volunteer Amanda to have a safe loving place to have her sweet baby. Amanda had said she would only even consider keeping the foal if it was a colt, and either buckskin or palomino. On May 8th 2015 after 22 days of foal watching she foaled a beautiful palomino colt, that shed out to to be a buckskin.... And Amanda was in love. 3 months later in August 2015 he was adopted into his forever home with volunteer Amanda where he loves spending time pestering his pasture mates, and being told by everyone who sees him just how cute he is.

Lady and Liam (3/15)

Lady and Liam above came from a brood mare farm where they are bred for milk only.... the foals are discarded if they don't find them a home. We started out taking in several of these pregnant mares and mares with foals along with other teams of volunteers!! Liam was adopted by JJ Sillman one of our rescue team members!!

River (1/19)

Recently, we were able to rescue a horse from a steep hillside by the KY River. After investigating, it’s suspected that the horse swam across the river and became trapped on the hillside where she remained for nearly a month before being spotted by a boater. Thanks to multiple Animal Control Officers working in extreme heat, the horse we are calling “River”, was saved.

River was adopted by Bradley Lunsford and she currently resides near Lexington!

Lady and Miss Lisa at their new home sharing hay April 2016

"My husband and I adopted Lady and Miss Lisa several months ago. They are the best girls ever!! We went for 1 horse and left with 2. Miss Lisa was Lady's foster baby and they were just too cute and loved each other too much to split them up. We are so very grateful for the opportunity we were given to love these girls. Miss Lisa is our first baby and we are blessed to be able to watch her grow. We have truly enjoyed them and would like to thank Lisa and McConathy Farm for the joy they have brought!! We will definitely be adopting our next horse from Lisa!!!"
