Bright Futures Farm is a sanctuary for retired Thoroughbreds.  We find homes for many horses that have the potential for a new career as a trail horse or family pleasure mount.   Our focus is to save as many horses as we can before  they are faced with neglect or auction. 

We are always in need of foster homes.  When you foster a horse you help us save one more from harm.  Fostering expenses are tax-deductible.  If you have room, please ask us about our foster program.

HThank you...

...to everyone who helps us help the horses.  Thank you for your support which comes in many forms.  Without you, we would not be able to care for the  number of horses we do each year.  Thank you to all of you... our financial supporters, those of you who donate equipment, those of you who give us your time, and to our foster farms and sponsors...you all make a difference in the lives of these magnificent creatures, and in my life as well.  Please forgive me if I am remiss in sending personal 'thank you' notes to each and every one of you.  I do my best but unfortunately, often fall short of time.  So, please take this 'thank you' personally because it comes from my heart.
