The Standardbred Retirement Foundation's (SRF) 12 Days Of Giving campaign is a great way to help a horse in need during the holidays; whether it is your gift to a horse in need, a gift to someone who loves horses and would be delighted to receive this caring gesture, or you just need a tax-deduction for enjoying a good year, thanks to your race horses.
The SRF holiday wish list for the 12 Days of Giving – which starts today (Monday, December 12) and ends on Monday, December 23 – appears below. SRF benefits the 218 trotters and pacers under its full care, which are all hoping for caring homes.

Since 1989, SRF is unique in its mission as it is dedicated solely to Standardbred horses; helps them regardless of age; retires those in need; and follows up every adoption for life to ensure good care continues, but all of this can only be done with the help of caring donors. Visit many of the 208 horses on SRF's website and reminisce with some you may recall from their glory days on the oval, such as Cleverest Endeavor, Comical Star A, Lanterns Law, Friday At Five, and Idlewood Phoenix, who collectively have made nearly $2 million.
