Mission Statement
The TRF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving Thoroughbred horses, no longer able to compete on the racetrack, from possible neglect, abuse, and slaughter.
Description
The TRF is the oldest and largest equine sanctuary of its kind in the world, with hundreds of former Thoroughbred racehorses under our care at 21 facilities in 13 states.
We are one of the only Thoroughbred rescue organizations that offers a lifelong home for horses whose racing-related injuries make them unsuitable for a second career as a riding horse.
Additionally, we always have a select number of sound horses who are being re-schooled and prepared for adoption.
