A Little About What We Do
Although there are several rescues in California that deal with off-track Thoroughbreds, we have found few that deal
specifically with Standardbreds off the track. We are hoping to fill a much needed niche! Many people do not know about
the extremely versatile Standardbred. Standardbreds can look very similar to their cousin the Thoroughbred, however are
generally very calm and make excellent family horses for trail, pleasure, etc. They are also athletic enough to do well in
sporthorse disciplines. One recent adopter labeled the Standardbred breed as the "labradors of the horse world" --- this
is the best description we've heard of for this wonderful breed!

Therapeutic Riding and Off-Track Rehabilitation
Last Updated: 11/9/2009
Local High School Students helping around the ranch
We have been very fortunate to have several hard-working high school
students come out to help with odd jobs around the ranch, and to work with
the horses. This is a great way to work off community service hours if your
school requires them for graduation!

With the downturn in the economy and the rising costs of gasoline or energy, TROTR needs your help!
Unfortunately, in difficult economic times, animals are often the first to suffer. Equines (horses, ponies,
minis, donkeys, and mules) especially are at risk because of their specific feeding and healthcare needs.
Likewise, they are expensive animals to maintain and many are being abandoned or even given away,
often to unscrupulous people posing as buyers but looking for cheap or free horses to take to slaughter
houses in Mexico, where they make a lot of money by selling horses to be killed through inhumane
methods.
TROTR needs YOUR help now. We remain committed to helping our equine friends and working with
other rescues, BUT WE CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT!
We are asking our friends and supporters to help us raise much-needed funds for the following:
Hay and feed
Veterinary care
Preventative healthcare, such as worming meds, vaccinations and antibiotics
Stable management practices, such as Insect and fly control
Water, electricity and gasoline
TROTR is growing and we are excited to announce that TROTR is establishing an ongoing fundraising
program that includes events, grant writing and direct requests, such as the following:
Foster Family Sponsors: Please consider becoming a sponsor for one of TROTR’s horses. $50
per month can feed a horse for 1/2 a month, or worm 10 horses. Plus, as a sponsor, you will have access
to the horse or horses that you are sponsoring to visit, groom and learn about handling horses from the
ground up if you are not already familiar with equine techniques.
Adoption Services: If you are looking for a family pleasure horse, please contact us. Our adoption
fees are reasonable ($500) and we work with you to help find the perfect match for you and your family.
Adopting a horse is a huge commitment, so it is important to spend time with us at the rescue to learn
about the available horses and how to care for them, especially if this is your first horse.
Please help us continue this important work with horses, ponies, minis and other equines. We realize
times are tough economically but your donation in whatever amount will contribute greatly to the welfare
of these fantastic animals.
DONATE TODAY to help us keep the barn doors open to our equine friends. Without your help, we can’t
continue to care for and accept more horses to prepare for permanent placement with their new families.
And please continue to check our website for upcoming events because there is a lot coming up and
many ways you can help through volunteering and visiting the horses!
