About TRF: Founded in 1983, the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation is a national organization devoted to saving Thoroughbred horses no longer able to compete at the racetrack from possible neglect, abuse and slaughter. As the oldest Thoroughbred rescue in the country, the TRF provides sanctuary to retired Thoroughbreds throughout their lifetime and rehabilitates and retrains sound horses for second careers.

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 nine state correctional facilities in nine states this program offers second careers to its horses and a second chance at life for inmates upon release from prison.

In addition to TRF Second Chances Program, the organization cares for horses at farms across the country and is funded entirely by private donations. The TRF is accredited by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. For more information on our organization go to: https://www.trfinc.org/
