After completing a lesson with the inmates at @trfinc Second Chances Sykesville today, I had to of course spend some time with Judge Luci. At 23 years old this @MarylandTB is feeling her age but still receiving impeccable care thanks largely to this amazing program โค๏ธ

The Bridge Sanctuary needs donation help to feed their herd. Please chip in whatever you can - they make so much of this horse rescue work possible.
They are safe thanks to @RACEFund and generous donors. Please consider a donation to their new home @TheBridgeSanct1 so @MargaretDammit can keep caring for these precious lives.

Texas Kill Pen Status Update We've created a dedicated page where we'll continue posting updates, tracking progress, sharing horse information, and highlighting ways people can help. Whether you can donate, offer space, share the story, or simply follow along, every contribution matters. ๐Ÿ”— mareworthy.com/news-and-resoโ€ฆ Together, we've already made meaningful progress. Now let's help the remaining eight horses find the solutions they need. In just the first 12 hours, the community has already helped secure solutions for three additional horses. That means 17 of the 25 Thoroughbreds identified in this Texas feedlot situation are now considered out of immediate danger. But we're not done yet. Seven broodmares and one gelding still need funding, quarantine space, permanent homes, or a combination of all three before the June 5 deadline. A tremendous amount of credit belongs to @BTREGail , which has been leading this effort from the beginningโ€”coordinating placements, securing homes, matching horses with resources, and helping bring together the many moving pieces required to get horses safely out of the feedlot. Mareworthy's role is different. We are helping raise awareness, keep people informed, connect resources, and support Beyond the Roses however we can. While we do not currently have the capacity to take horses from this group, we can still help connect the people who do. One of the biggest lessons from situations like this is that saving a horse isn't just about raising money. Every successful outcome requires three pieces of the puzzle: ๐Ÿ  A permanent home ๐Ÿฉบ Quarantine space ๐Ÿ’ฐ Funding When those three pieces come together, a horse can move safely into its next chapter. #mareworthycharities #mareworthy #retiredbroodmares

๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘‰Urgent Fundraiser for these two TB mares Vintage Beauty and Perfect Art at the Bowie, TX lot. These poor girls need help and a place to foal out and rest if they are still in foal. They are thin, exhausted and crying for each other. It is so stressful on horses to go through this when they are healthy and strong but twice as hard when they are weaker. We have a good portion of their bail thanks to Torian D but still need to raise $1600 to cover remaining bail and transport. They will be going to The Bridge Sanctuary for quarantine and placement. Let's get these girls to safety and some TLC. Please consider a donation. Our PayPal Donation link is: paypal.com/donate/?hosted_buโ€ฆ Thank you. @jockeyclub @BreedersCup @LightUpRacing @theTDN @PastTheWire @ThoroughbredRA @KYTbred @westlakeracing @RepoleStable @PatCummingsNTA @AnitaMotion @KateMaddenSC

Aid The Jockey Club in our traceability initiative. Our traceability survey records the status of a Thoroughbred, enabling the industry to better understand the whereabouts of Thoroughbreds that have retired from breeding and racing. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and can be accessed at bit.ly/47W0H5n using a free Interactive Registration account. This summer, The Jockey Club will analyze the responses, and the findings will be presented at the 2026 Round Table Conference, which will be held Thursday, August 6. For more information regarding our initiatives, please read the 2026 Impact Report: bit.ly/4tFaRBC

Why do you have to rehome her if you can't breed her?
