An international honor recognizing our commitment to compassionate care, ethical practices, and second chances for horses in need.

The Kentucky Equine Adoption Center (KYEAC) is proud to announce that we have been named the 2026 Outstanding Equine Sanctuary by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS).

Announced October 30, 2026, this prestigious recognition celebrates organizations that demonstrate excellence in humane animal care, professionalism, ethical practices, organizational sustainability, public engagement, and leadership within the animal sanctuary community.
 

For KYEAC, this honor represents far more than an award. It is a testament to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, supporters, and adopters who work together every day to create brighter futures for Kentucky’s equines.
