Sponsor a Retired Racehorse: Be Part of Our Herd
At the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, every horse carries a story worth honoring and a future worth protecting. Our retired racehorses now enjoy dignified lifelong care in pastures across the country. By sponsoring a horse, you become a meaningful part of that journey as your generosity aids in providing the essentials: nutritious feed, farrier care, veterinary visits, shelter, and enriching companionship. But more than that, it offers the gift of lifetime security, connection, and unconditional love from our dedicated staff and volunteers. Become a part of something truly meaningful. Sponsor a retired racehorse and give them the forever they deserve.
Make a Meaningful Impact. Sponsorship levels are available to suit every budget, each offering a unique opportunity to bond with one of our incredible horses. Not ready for a full sponsorship? That’s perfectly okay. Every donation to the TRF Horse Sponsorship Program directly supports the lifetime care of our retired thoroughbreds. Every horse deserves a soft landing. Every story deserves a happy ending. Sponsor a horse and be part of theirs.
