Cream Ridge, NJ — Standardbred Retirement Foundation has been generously offered safe places, at no cost, to send 14 of its horses to graze for up six months. This will provide a savings of $25,000 to the struggling organization.

Updated Coggins and health certificates, as well as the cost to move these horses is about $5,000. If SRF can raise the funds to send them, a wonderful donor will pay for their return trip. This means more hay and grain to feed the others in need.

Ten trotters have a place at a beautiful farm owned by one of SRF’s long time supporters and friends in Paris, Ky; three are going to Blue Chip Farm in New York; and one other to Northern New York. Each has the same shipping fee of $300, one way, $600 round trip. SRF is asking for help to get this done as the farms are ready and shippers can be on the road
Saturday (April 25).

Adoptions from the main location were halted on April 6, as the leased farm required the barn doors to close until further notice. Social fundraisers were postponed, some canceled. This is causing financial stress on the SRF and concern for the ability to feed all the horses and provide veterinary care for injuries and illness. The current number under SRF’s expense has been reduced from 403 to 380 trotters and pacers, thanks to sight unseen adoptions and foster home offers.

Tax-deductible donations are greatly appreciated and gifts will multiply, thanks to the match offer. Donations can be made several ways, through SRF’s website at www.adoptahorse.org/donate, by emailing SRFhorsesandkids@gmail.com and staff will contact you, contacting the office at 609.738.3255, by using this link which is an invoice that will accept donations directly for shipping and veterinary paperwork, or by mail to SRF, P.O. Box 312, Millstone Twp., NJ 08535.
