Illinois Equine Humane Center ILEHC is looking for forever homes for its wonderful horses so they can share the holidays with their new families!
Illinois Equine Humane Center Poppy is a 12 year old, 16.0 h, dark bay, Thoroughbred gelding. Poppy enjoyed a very successful racing career in his native country of Brazil before being brought to the United States. Poppy has undergone some retraining with his former owner and was even started over-fences before recently being sold as part of an est...ate dispersal auction. Poppy is a beautiful mover who knows how to make heads turn. Poppy is currently available for adoption or foster to that special someone looking to treat him like a king!

Lady is a 17 year old, 15.3 h., dark bay, Thoroughbred mare. Lady has spent the past several years as a broodmare. Lady previously enjoyed a very successful career as a racehorse, and retired from racing in 1998 with career earnings of nearly $150k! Lady is a very kind and gentle soul who is a pleasure to work around a...nd handle. In working with Lady it is clear to see that she just adores and craves human affection. Lady is available for adoption to that special someone who will provide her with the attention and affection she longs for and most clearly deserves!

Lighthouseville (aka "House") is a 5 year old, 16.1 hand, dark bay, Thoroughbred gelding. House was donated to the ILEHC in December of 2008 after sustaining a slab fracture of the right knee during his last race on November 5, 2008. This injury resulted in the end of his racing career. House's injured knee required ex...tensive rehabilitation which included 7 months of complete stall rest, followed by 8 weeks of hand-walking, and lots and lots of repeated radiographs so that we were able to accurately assess and monitor the healing progress of his injured knee. We were given the go-ahead to begin returning House to daily supervised turnout at the beginning of July 2009. House is doing wonderfully and thus far appears to be completely sound. House is an absolutely gorgeous horse with classically elegant Thoroughbred features. He is also a very sweet guy who just loves people! I have to laugh everyday when working around this horse...he just loves to give big sloppy horse licks anytime he gets the chance. I have to wonder sometimes if he isn't maybe part dog! House will not be ready to resume activity under-saddle until October 2009, however, he is currently available for adoption (adopting now will afford you plenty of time to get some ground-work underway!). Interested parties should submit their adoption application quickly. With House's stunning good looks and great personality, I'm sure he won't take long for someone to come along and scoop this beauty up!
Illinois Equine Humane Center Wager is a 6 year old, 16.1 hand Thoroughbred gelding. Wager came to the ILEHC in February after sustaining a fracture to his right front cannon bone during his last race in November of 2008. Wager has been through an extensive rehabilitation program which included several months of stall rest, followed by 8 weeks of h...and-walking, and an eventual return to daily turnout. The latest word from our vet is that Wager's fracture has completely healed and the old injury should not place any limitations on career options for this lovely horse. So, this is GREAT news for hunter/jumper, dressage, and sport horse enthusiasts. Wager has a great mind, great manners, excellent conformation, and is a pleasure to work with. He is going to make someone a wonderful partner. Great horses like Wager usually don't last long once they become available, so if you're looking for that perfect sporthorse

a recent grant awarded to the Illinois Equine Humane Center means that horse owners who are having a hard time caring for their animals might be able to keep them at least a bit longer.
