Horse of the Week: Spurt

Thoroughbred
-Mare
-Bay
-8-year-old
-15.1hh

Spurt retired from racing with a fractured sesamoid that is now completely healed. She is looking forward to finding a new home and second career. Spurt is adjusting very well to life away from the track and has settled in quite nicely. She loves attention and will make someone a very nice show or pleasure horse.



For more information on Spurt or any of the other horses at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, visit /redirect.php?location=http%3a%2f%2fwww.kyehc.org%2f.
