Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center! Volunteers play a vital role in caring for our horses and supporting our mission.

We welcome volunteers who are 18 years or older and in good physical health to join our team. While liability restrictions mean VOLUNTEERS WILL NOT RIDE or have extensive hands-on contact with horses, there are still many meaningful ways to make a difference. Your time and energy are invaluable and directly support the care, well-being, and second chances we provide to equines in need. Every role—no matter how big or small—helps advance our mission.
