Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation

Our first farm opened in 1983 at a correctional facility in New York, where inmates participated in a nationally accredited TRF Second Chances vocational training program in equine care and stable management. The TRF Second Chances program has since expanded to 9 states and provides an important "job" for horses whose racing-related injuries leave them unsuitable for a second career as a riding horse. The inmates learn marketable skills as well as invaluable lessons in compassion and responsibility. TRF also offers permanent retirement at 16 private farms around the country.

His story is a testament to the life-changing impact of Second Chances. We invite you to hear his journey—you’ll be forever inspired. Watch his videos here: http://bit.ly/41oW5TP
