THE TRF FARM AT MONTPELIER CURRENTLY HAS 71 OFF THE TRACK THOROUGHBRED HORSES IN ITS CARE. 

WHILE SOME ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ADOPTION AS THEY ARE NO LONGER RIDEABLE, WE HAVE MANY WHO ARE SUITABLE FOR FOSTER PLACEMENT.   THESE HORSES ARE PASTURE SOUND WITH NO PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRE VETERINARY CARE.  WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO PLACE A NUMBER OF THESE HORSES IN FOSTER HOMES IN THE PAST, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, AS SOON AS WE PLACE ONE,  ANOTHER APPEARS TO TAKE ITS PLACE. 

IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH PASTURE TO ACCOMMODATE JUST ONE (OR TWO) MORE HORSES, IT WILL MAKE A MEASURABLE DIFFERENCE.   EVERY HORSE ADOPTED OR FOSTERED INCREASES OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR MORE AT RISK ANIMALS.  TRF WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF FARRIER AND VETERINARY SERVICES IF REQUESTED. 

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ADD JUST ONE MORE HORSE TO YOUR FARM, OR HAVE A NEIGHBOR OR FRIEND WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SO, PLEASE CONTACT SUE HART AT 434-409-4102 OR BY EMAIL AT SJH58@HOTMAIL.COM
