LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Abused and neglected horses saved by rescue organizations around the state will be offered for adoption next month at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
The John Henry Memorial Equine Adoption Fair will be held April 17 at the park.
Horse Park Executive Director John Nicholson said in a news release Thursday that the park is holding the fair because it is important to make a statement about the priority Kentucky gives to equine welfare.
Hours are 11:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT.
Also appearing at the fair will be Molly, a pony known as one of the country's few successful equine amputees. Molly was rescued during Hurricane Katrina and adopted by an equine shelter in Louisiana.
