Because the mission of the Standardbred Retirement Foundation (SRF) is unique, it is providing full care for 198 Standardbreds, 125 unattractive to adopters due to age or injury.

Finding homes and following up for life is the goal for every horse, but many need life in pasture due to chronic or acute injuries, or are old campaigners that have served well and need a dignified retirement. This is why SRF has pastures full of trotters and pacers like Fly Like An Eagle, Duke of Earl, AJs Send the Money and Jerrys Brown Gold.

SRF needs your holiday help and asks you to be part of its 12 Days of Giving Campaign. Please make this season special by wrapping up a much-needed gift for the horses that have made your seasons bright.
