Standardbred Retirement Foundation, (SRF) has moved its annual auction to an earlier date in an effort to keep the horses fed during the pandemic. The annual social fundraisers are canceled, but the online auction is a go for May 1-5 and will have access through the website, AdoptaHorse.org.

Standardbred racehorses in the care of a 32-year-old charity, the Standardbred Retirement Foundation, (SRF), are at great risk. All fundraisers are canceled due to Covid19; SRF says it cannot feed them all and is

asking for help to avoid drastic measures.

Nearly 32 years of helping thousands of Standardbreds, and shining under numerous awards from the Racing Commissioners International, the American Associations of Equine Practitioners, the Harness Tracks of America and many others, the horses of the Standardbred

Retirement Foundation, (SRF) are facing serious trouble during

this Covid virus pandemic.

3/27/2020

Covid19 is causing the Standardbred Retirement Foundation,(SRF) to

cancel, not postpone, three of its very impactful fundraisers. It is also being slammed by the need for Americans to quarantine, keeping adopters away during the busiest time of the year for finding homes. More than 400 trotters and pacers are under the SRF's expense and care. What this means is that there will be no funds to feed every

one of its horses. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

The Standardbred Retirement Foundation's, (SRF) schedule of upcoming events welcomes you as a guest, a sponsor, and a supporter in any way you choose.

The Standardbred Retirement Foundation, (SRF) has new breedings available for sale, and seeks tax-deductible donations of breedings.

The last of the trotters and pacers the Standardbred Retirement

Foundation, (SRF ) has been trying to keep from shipping for

slaughter has left the pen on their freedom ride. Fifteen of the

remaining Standardbreds were loaded at about 5:30 pm on

Saturday at the kill pen in Shippensburg, Pa and arrived at the

boarding facility the Standardbred Retirement Foundation, (SRF)

uses.

According to the Standardbred Retirement Foundation, (SRF), which has been diligently working to save nearly thirty trotters and pacers from slaughter, a few wonderful new homes have been offered and three very kind sponsors have changed the lives of two others. Sadly, Princess Lola, and Thro Time, both who had homes, now have nothing,

their offers have fallen through.

2/14/2020

On the last day before the truck leaves for the Canadian slaughterhouse, a little more than half of the trotters and pacers are safe, 16 are still in desperate need of homes.

In the midst of the efforts to help horses so desperately in need as they stand in a kill pen, tagged to ship for slaughter, there is a smile to be had. The blockbuster movie, Little Women, stars all Standardbreds, and most were rescued from the kill pen, landing safely into the hands of the SRF.

2/10/2020

Standardbreds remain at risk to ship for slaughter, thankfully, they have been given a 4-day reprieve. A deposit from the funds raised as of this morning was used to negotiate more time for Standardbred Retirement Foundation (SRF) to help them. Leaving them in a kill pen longer is very concerning, as they are crammed in and fighting for something to eat. It's fairly clear in the photo that this one horse is not only in need of such, but he is also frightened. Their deadline is now Friday, Feb. 14, 2020, ironically it is Valentine’s Day.

2/6/2020

It’s a matter of a few days before more than 100 horses, now in Shippensburg, Pa., meet their horrific end at a Canadian slaughterhouse. Some appear to be in foal; others are tossed away

broodmares; a few are in great shape; others in dire need of a meal and veterinary attention; a few are elderly and have served racing then

worked hard in rural areas until they were worn out and have given up.
