SRF seeks help for trotters and pacers

Cream Ridge, NJ — Several of the 35 trotters and pacers tagged to ship to slaughter have past owners and breeders stepping up to help them. They are paying to release their horse and several are taking them back home, but most are still at great risk to ship to slaughter.

For the past few days the volunteers at Save Our Standardbreds From Slaughter, active on Facebook and associated with Standardbred Retirement Foundation, have been working around the clock trying to find past connections to help these horses. So many have no help at all and will be shipped to the Mexican and Canadian slaughterhouses in the next 48 hours. These horses need caring homes and donations to divert them from this trip on Friday (Jan. 18).

The most urgent are the mare in foal due in April, Funny Girl, and two with injuries that are in need of medical attention. One past connection to Naomi Blue Chip has informed SOSS in the past that they would like to find her and asked to be contacted if found, however, we are unable to reach them. Hopefully someone sees this and contacts them.

SRF will do all it can to help, but taking in more horses at this time will weigh further on its financial burden with 378 trotters and pacers under its expense and care.

These horses can be paid for and homed directly from the lot or through the help of SRF or SOSS; go to the SOSS page on Facebook for information or message them through Facebook. You can also contact SRF directly, via email to SRFadoption@gmail.com, or call 609.738.3255 to offer a home or make a donation.

SRF asks for help from other organizations but they must have a strict and active policy of lifetime follow-up. Many of these horses are in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Kansas.

Tax-deductible donations can be made on our website at www.AdoptaHorse.org or via Paypal. For questions, please call Tammy at 609.738.3255.
