UKIAH, CA., 11/18/25 – This week’s Featured Pet is Easy Day, an 18-year-old retire racehorse available for adoption through the Ukiah Animal Shelter.
Easy Day is an 18-year-old retired racehorse with a heart as soft as her name suggests. She left the track at age 5 and has spent her post-racing years enjoying a quieter life. While we don’t have details about her past training, she’s affectionate, loves attention, and especially enjoys being groomed—she’ll happily stand for a good brushing session. Easy Day has mild ringbone in her left hind leg, but our vet believes she’s still suitable for light riding and would thrive in a calm, patient environment with someone who understands horses and can offer her consistency and care.
Note: Easy can be difficult to load into a trailer, so she’ll do best with an experienced handler who can work with her gently and confidently. If you’re looking for a sweet companion with a lot of love to give, Easy Day might be your perfect match. Interested? Call Amy at 707-671-4128 to learn more or schedule a visit.
