Horse Illustrated, in partnership with the ASPCA’s Right Horse program, features Alma, a 17-year-old Kentucky Mountain Horse mare available for adoption through Wild at Heart Horse Rescue in Lancaster, California. Alma was rescued from a wild herd on reclaimed Kentucky mine land where toxic forage threatened their survival. After three years of patient, gentle handling, she has blossomed into a confident trail horse who stands calmly for routine care, though she remains sensitive and will thrive with a patient, kind adopter.

The ASPCA Right Horse initiative aims to increase horse adoption across the U.S. by connecting potential adopters with horses like Alma through their online platform, www.myrighthorse.org. This program brings together equine professionals and advocates to improve the lives of horses in transition, encouraging responsible adoption and fostering. For more information or to inquire about Alma, interested individuals can contact Wild at Heart Horse Rescue or visit the ASPCA Right Horse website.
