from the Standardbred Retirement Foundation

Cream Ridge, NJ — The Standardbred Retirement Foundation is pleased to announce its horses are settled in their new lease arrangement for care at Walnridge Farm in Cream Ridge, N.J. The SRF administration continues to operate out of the Hamilton, N.J., location while the future office space agreement is ironed out.

The support from McCauley’s Feed, and Reynolds Hay and Straw supplying grain for our horses since 2007 also continues in our new farm location.

“What a tremendous gift this has been and continues to be for us,” said Paula Campbell, SRF’s President.

“Knowing they have their feed buckets full every day by these great people is a tremendous help; we are so grateful,” added Judy Bokman, a trustee.

The New Jersey location is the active area where SRF rests, rehabilitates, and re-trains the horses to saddle in preparation for adoption; being near the hub of racing is helpful.

SRF’s horses were shipped to the new location along with all the tack, hay racks, remaining hay and grain, jumps, water troughs, etc. through the gift and hard work of Princeton Equine Transport and Stern Farms, LLC of Cream Ridge, N.J.

The retirees that were offered permanent homes during SRF’s dilemma have also settled in at Ron Burke’s farm in Pa. and with Mark Mullen at Fair Winds Farm. The Burkes have the notable 11-year-old gelding All Hall, who earned $612,098.

Taking a horse in to retire is one of the best gifts the organization can receive.

SRF has 108 other Standardbreds they pay board, hay, grain, farrier, veterinary and other general care for that are located in several other states where the care is more affordable than in N.J. These Standardbreds are deemed unadoptable as they are continually passed over by adopters due to age or injuries.
