KERRI Success Story: Altruist 💙

In May 2026, Altruist found his forever home with Emily, beginning a new chapter filled with love, trust, and companionship.

Now known as Soda Pop, he and Emily have built a special bond rooted in mutual love and respect. There’s nothing better than seeing our horses find the people who truly understand and appreciate them.

Our Core Values 💙

At KERRI, everything we do is guided by five core values:

Horse Welfare First — The physical and emotional well-being of every horse comes first.

Transparency — We believe in honest, complete disclosure about every horse’s history and needs.

Ethical Stewardship — We operate with integrity and responsibly manage the resources entrusted to us.

Education & Advocacy — We promote responsible Thoroughbred ownership and aftercare through education and collaboration.

Responsible Placement — We focus on thoughtful matches, lifelong support, and the long-term success of every horse beyond adoption.

Because aftercare is more than finding a home—it’s creating a future. 🐴✨

Sanctuary Horse Spotlight: Ignition (Iggy)

At KERRI, our sanctuary horses are retired Thoroughbreds who, for various reasons, will not be rehomed. Instead, they are given something every horse deserves: a safe, loving home for life. 💙

Meet Ignition, affectionately known as Iggy — a 2017 gelding by Uncle Mo out of Cambiocorsa.

Iggy is a gentle, affectionate soul with a sweet personality and a serious love for treats. It doesn’t take long for him to win over everyone he meets! Due to ongoing health concerns, including a tendency toward ulcers and colic, KERRI determined that permanent sanctuary care was the best path for Iggy rather than adoption.
Today, Iggy enjoys his days surrounded by his KERRI family, receiving the care, comfort, and security he deserves. His story is a reminder that retirement doesn’t have to mean the end of a Thoroughbred’s journey. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of a life filled with peace, love, and dignity. 🐴

Finding the right home matters.

At KERRI, our adoption process is designed to make sure each horse is matched with the right person and environment for their next chapter. 💙

From the initial application and screening to meeting the horse, completing the adoption agreement, and post-adoption follow-up, we’re here every step of the way.

Because adoption isn’t just about finding a home — it’s about finding the right forever home. 🏡🐴
