THINK RACING IS GLAMOROUS? THINK AGAIN!
Tinkookie died by snapping her leg at Rosehill in March 2024. She had a very short life, she wasn’t 5 years old yet.
Green shields are erected so the public do not see the extreme pain horses are in when they snap a leg.
Horses are a prey animal and it is imperative that they do not scream in pain or stay on the ground. Even with a leg that was totally shattered, Tintookie stands up. That is a survival mechanism hard-wired into horses.

We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
