Taking Care of Our Own

Based at Parx Racing in Bensalem, PA, TFH works with other farms/organization which help to give retired Thoroughbreds a chance at a new career. We are not a sanctuary, as we do not own our own property, but we believe that every horse deserves a dignified and safe retirement after providing so many people with the thrill and excitement of Thoroughbred racing.

MISSION:

To provide an alternative to auction and slaughter for Parx Racing’s Thoroughbred racehorses when their careers have ended by placing them with approved adoption organizations which will work to find them new homes or careers.
