The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1983, making it the oldest and largest Thoroughbred aftercare organization in the United States.
We are dedicated to providing dignified lifetime care for retired racehorses, most of whom remain with us for 15 to 20 years. Some arrive after a second or third post-racing career, while others come directly from the racetrack. No matter where their journey begins, it ends with the safe landing we are proud to provide.
In return, these horses serve as teachers and healers through our TRF Second Chances Programs, operated in partnership with correctional facilities across the country. In these unique programs, they inspire hope and transformation, offering incarcerated individuals the opportunity to learn horsemanship and develop essential life skills such as trust, responsibility, and a renewed sense of purpose.
