Bright Futures Farm is an equine charity whose primary focus is re-homing off the track Thoroughbreds…horses that can no longer race due to disinterest or injury.  Once deemed “unprofitable” by their owners, tens of thousands each year are sent to auction with the owner knowing full-well that the majority will be purchased by “kill buyers” for slaughter (for human consumption overseas).

Our dedication has grown to include providing sanctuary for older horses that are unwanted after their “useful years” are over, including older stallions that cannot be gelded due to the risk of complications.  We are one of only two known facilities in the United States that accept senior stallions.

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.
