HORSE RESCUE IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS FOR GROUNDS KEEPING
Various duties around the farm include:
- Grounds clean up (branches, etc.)
- Fence repair/building new fence for our horses
- Painting
- Mowing grounds
- Gardening
- Barn repair
- Pressure Washing
- General repairs
We have all the equipment ready and available on the farm, including any materials you may need.
Our farm is our sanctuary for our horses. There is always something to be done around the farm, mainly repairs as well as installing new areas for our horses to be turned out or simply have a safe place for bathing and grooming. We welcome gardeners who have an imagination and want to simply breathe in the country air and decorate the grounds, painters to freshen up coats of paint in the barns, pressure washing, mowing the grounds, etc. We all pitch in and work together. Our farm is relaxing and a true safe haven for our horses where they can relax in comfort. We need to install fans, more security cameras, etc.
If you want to spend time around our 4 legged friends (they'll follow you around!) and meet wonderful people, build things, make friends and do some good - come join our family!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to assist, rescue and provide medical care, rehabilitation and safe sanctuary to retiring or already retired thoroughbred race horses when their racing careers come to an end.
Description
TRRAC is a 501c3 non-profit that was established in 2017 by Maui Meadow Farm, Pennsylvania's oldest thoroughbred farm since 1946 as a means to allow safe sanctuary to retiring thoroughbred racehorses when their racing careers come to an end. We provide rehabilitation for horses who have suffered injuries, as well as therapy by means of our indoor equine swimming pool. Our program provides financial assistance for horses in need of surgery or hospital/clinic stays and offers each horse a safe place to unwind and experience much-needed downtime in a stress-free zone. When our horses are ready, we provide professional training to teach them new careers. These careers range from pleasure and trail, to therapy work, police duty, and even upper-level show jumping.
Our farm is a quiet 65-acre sanctuary, with a gated entrance and camera monitored. Our volunteers are like family to us and we have many volunteers who range from animal caretaking to assisting with maintaining the property, as well as spreading our message through advertisement and helping us man our booths are expos or events. No amount of time or effort for any job is too small and is always very much appreciated.
