Millstone Township, NJ — The grey faced mare H H Tracy, who stirred up more than 30,000 lookers on the Standardbred Retirement Foundation’s Facebook page has arrived safely at Walnut Hall Limited.

Alan Leavitt (right) quickly tended to H H Tracy’s needs upon her arrival at Walnut Hall Limited.

When the SRF posted the very sad photo of the 29-year-old mare, many people stepped up with help, comments, and compassion. Meg Jewitt and Alan Leavitt of Walnut Hall Farm in Kentucky offered the broken hearted mare a place to live her remaining days, rather than ship to Canada for slaughter.

While waiting for a ride from Pennsylvania to Kentucky she seemed to have given up; she was not eating and was lethargic. She will receive the best of care, which started the moment she arrived when Alan Leavitt and his farm manager quickly tended to her needs.

SRF is grateful for the caring people and especially Walnut Hall for giving this grand old mare dignity in her remaining days.
