Second Chance for Horses
Second Career Equine Foundation
We are a charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, retraining, rehoming, and retiring thoroughbred horses, providing them with shelter, food, and veterinary care in a safe and loving environment.
Giving Horses a Second Chance
Second Career Equine Foundation was born out of a love for thoroughbred horses and a desire to provide them with a second chance at life. Our journey began 8 years ago when we adopted our first off-the-track thoroughbred Sixbits. Sixbits injured his right rear leg and was no longer able to race. He received veterinary care and rehabilitation. After his recovery he was retrained to be a dressage horse. Today, he enjoys his life with many friends on a beautiful farm in a safe, and loving environment. We aim to provide this opportunity to other off-the-track thoroughbreds in need of a new home.
Comprehensive Equine Care
At Second Career Equine Foundation, we aim to provide comprehensive services designed to give off-the-track thoroughbreds a second career and a second chance at a meaningful life. Our services are about providing a holistic approach to equine care that includes rehabilitation, retraining, rehoming, and retirement. We ensure that all horses under our care receive the necessary shelter, food, and veterinary care in a safe and loving environment.
Rescue
Our rescue services are the first step in our mission. We identify horses in need, often those who have been injured or are no longer able to race, and bring them into our care. This involves coordinating with various stakeholders, ensuring a safe and stress-free transition for the horse, and providing immediate medical attention if needed.
Rehabilitation
Once a horse is under our care, our team of veterinary professionals and horse care experts work together to provide comprehensive rehabilitation services. This includes medical care for any injuries or health issues, as well as emotional support to help the horse recover from any trauma. Our goal is to help each horse regain their health and happiness.
Retraining
Retraining is a crucial part of our mission. We believe that every horse has potential, and our job is to help them realize it. Our retraining program involves assessing each horse’s skills and temperament and then providing them with training that suits their abilities and interests. For example, a former racehorse might be retrained in hunting/ jumping, dressage, trail riding and/or as a therapy horse.
Rehoming and Retirement
When the horse is ready, we find them a loving new home where they can live out their days in peace and happiness. For those horses who are not suitable for rehoming, we provide a comfortable and caring retirement. We ensure that all horses, whether they are rehomed or retired, receive the ongoing care and love they deserve.
