Kip

Kip, a Quarter Horse born around 2001, was a horse-for-hire at a New York City riding stable that has since closed. He was rescued by an NYC resident who had ridden him there. She purchased Kip after she found out he was suffering from a disease called Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) and was going to be sold at auction. He was treated at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine before retiring at the sanctuary in 2006. Kip spends his time with another horse, Bandit, in the area of the sanctuary we call “Goodfellas.”

Kip is sponsored in full by the same New York City supporter who rescued him!
