Our Mission/How we are involved with horses:
Our mission is to provide off the track thoroughbreds with a soft landing after the end of their racing careers by giving them ample rehabilitation and retraining, transitioning them to a new career. Second Chance Thoroughbreds houses 8-10 thoroughbreds, some are available for adoption and others are either rehabilitating from an injury or in need of more training before being ready for adoption. We also provide sanctuary for horses with chronic health issues and support them until the end of their life. Thoroughbreds are known for their athleticism, heart and desire to please, and we strive to educate the public on how versatile and trainable thoroughbreds are.
