Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation

At the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, we believe dignity and compassion are the foundations of lives well lived. We provide a lifetime sanctuary for Thoroughbreds after their racing careers as well as opportunities for people wishing to improve their well-being through the undeniable healing power of horses. Best known for its pioneering TRF Second Chances program, the organization provides incarcerated individuals with vocational training through its accredited equine care and stable management program. At eight correctional facilities across the country this program offers second careers to its horses and a second chance at life for inmates upon release from prison. TRF cares for 550 rescued and retired Thoroughbreds at Second Chances prison farms and Sanctuary Farms across the country. The organization is funded entirely by private donations. The TRF is accredited by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and has a Platinum rating with GuideStar. For more information visit:
