A NEW LIFE FOR
RETIRED RACEHORSES
New Life
We are passionately dedicated to the life of the thoroughbred whether retiring from the racetrack or found in dire circumstances. We provide thoroughbreds with a safe place to land and help them transition to a new life of love, value, and purpose while catering to each horse’s individual needs.
We Rescue, Rehabilitate, Retrain, Rehome or, if needed, offer a life of gentle Retirement (5R Program) to these talented horses.
We also inform and bring awareness of the kind and majestic nature of the thoroughbred through community involvement.

About Us
The US horse racing industry is a $100 billion-dollar sport. Each year millions flock to the country’s largest races—The Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes. Out of the 20,000 thoroughbreds born into the racing industry each year, only 60 to 65 percent make it to their first race. Only 0.2 percent make it to a Grade 1 stakes race like the Kentucky Derby. Meaning that approximately 13,000 thoroughbreds are left searching for a new home on an annual basis.
While most major tracks have owners and trainers sign an agreement stating they will not send horses housed at the track to slaughter, it still occurs. Unfortunately, there are still thousands of retired thoroughbred racehorses housed off race tracks seeking homes.
Our organization sees the thoroughbred racehorse not as a commodity, but as unique individuals who possess great athleticism and encompass kind natures. These horses’ lives do not stop after the track—they have so much more to give.
