The Horse Racing Hall of Shame

This is a forum for people who love horse-racing but love the horses too. We want to make sure that the racing industry puts the welfare and safety of the horses FIRST, despite the financial pressures within the industry that lead to over-breeding, racing the horses to the ground or sending them off to slaughter for a quick, easy and profitable disposal method. We are DEMANDING industry accountability through less breeding, more retirement funding & putting an end to racehorse slaughter.

URGENT! 52 thoroughbred horses need homes.

Will go to Sugarcreek this Saturday for slaughter.
Gentleman died and his son wants nothing to do with them. Most broodmares are broke and some are in foal weanling, yearlings, 2 yrs and 3 yrs old most are gelded. FREE and papered. Friend of the deceased is trying to find homes 440-463-4288...

UPDATE: Just saw this on Drafty Barn Rescue
52 Thoroughbreds in Ohio:ALL OF THESE HORSES ARE SAFE,SAFE. The barn manager has requested that ALL CALLS STOP as they now have to tie up lose ends as well as deal with a funeral. Can we... please give these folks who have worked around the clock to place these horses in good homes and with rescues, a little bit of room to RELAX and BREATHE without a phone held to their heads? Thanks
