ASPCA Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week: Primrose

Primrose is a spirited and resilient mare with a bright future ahead. She came to the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center from a neglect case, but quickly settled in and revealed her bold, curious personality. She’s affectionate and companion-oriented—truly an “in-your-pocket” kind of horse who would happily follow you around all day.

Primrose is currently undergoing a veterinary assessment to better understand the extent of her vision. Her blue eyes make her sensitive to light, and she has chronic uveitis, which is managed with a prescription fly mask and medicated eye treatments given three times a week.

She has begun groundwork training and, while she can be pushy at times, she’s already showing progress with respect for personal space and responsiveness to pressure and release. With consistent, kind guidance, she’s learning to pick up her feet politely and respond more thoughtfully to her handler.

Primrose is currently barefoot and thrives in a dry lot environment to help manage her weight. She is on a daily ration of McCauley’s M-10 balancer.

While her riding potential hasn’t yet been confirmed, Primrose shows promise and will benefit from a patient, experienced adopter who can continue her training at her own pace. She truly thrives in a social setting and would do best in a home where she can bond with both equine companions and her humans.

Primrose’s adoption fee is $900.
