Get to Know Adoptable Horse Lucille



Lucille, also known as Keepsake, is looking for the perfect home where she can live her best life munching treats, hanging out with friends and looking beautiful. West Virginia Horse Network’s veterinarian believes her ideal career is being a pet or pasture puff because of an old injury. She is fully pasture sound without any additional supplements or extra care. She also does excellent being led through obstacles and playing games on the ground. She’d do fine with in-hand obstacles at a local show or in a therapy program.

Lucille has been adopted and returned several times now, due to no fault whatsoever of her own. It has just been a string of unfortunate luck. We’d love to find a new and long term placement for her quickly, with a new friend.

Contact West Virginia Horse Network today about ASPCA Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week, Lucille!
