Millstone Township, NJ - Nov. 10, 2017 - This is unprecedented; so many Standardbreds this week are about to ship to the Canadian and Mexican slaughterhouses on Sunday, November 12th at 6pm. They on the brink of a frightful trip to a heinous act and they need the help of everyone. Several are in good shape, some very poor, a few injured, and blind. 

SRF is reaching out to seek a soft place for these horses to land, a home, and donations. With its present financial situation, 
now 20% over budget with 272 Standardbreds presently under its full expense, SRF has limited if any ability to help; they do not have the facilities for quarantine or care, the manpower to facilitate or the funds. Many past owners and breeders have been stepping up to help the horses they once owned or bred, (regardless of the number of years that have past), it is human, and it is what people of character do. SRF hopes this reaches many and they will step up to keep them from slaughter;
  • To offer a home, or take back a horse, please call SRF directly.  Call Tammy at 732-446-4422 for assistance.
  • For horses with a home offer, donations are needed to help with the cost of payments to release the horse from being slaughter bound, ship, quarantine, rehabilitate, etc. and every donation will be transparent. Some homes may be in very rural areas where land is in abundance but funds somewhat limited. All donations paid through the linked invoice will be available to view.
  • There are 4 horses in this large group SRF feels would be exposed to more horrific conditions than usual by shipping to slaughter, they would not withstand it, regardless of the laws, the oversight and enforcement is lacking. They are injured, ill, or elderly, and are outlined in red below. SRF is able to help these, but only with donations to cover all costs.  
Because we can only bail horses with home offers, if at the time of bailing there is funds applied to a horse without a home offer, those funds will be reapplied to a horse(s) with a home offer, putting the other at great risk.

"We do all we can to say "yes", but we have reached that point where we cannot in this situation. In the past 10 months SRF helped 412 trotters and pacers along with the volunteers at S.O.S.S.", said Cathy Jones, SRF's Equine Manager. SRF has a record-breaking number of adoptions this year, more than double from last year, another reason for a stretched budget. 

In the midst of record-breaking horse sales in harness racing, and considering that we are nearing the end of 2017, SRF ask that owners, trainers, and breeders be most generous to prevent this heinous act to save the horses that fill their lives.
  • To offer a safe home please contact Tammy at SRF 732-446-4422.

  • The link to donate to help SRF help the 4 in need, CLICK HERE
  • If you have any questions at all please contact Tammy at SRFHorsesandkids@gmail.com or call 732-446-4422.
  • To view the horses go to Face Book S.O.S.S. - FACEBOOK/SOSS
SRF asks you to forward this email to others as well to encourage help.

SRF is different than any other organization:
-Helps Standardbreds exclusively;
-Does not limit help to only adoptable horses;
- Follows up for life on a semi-annual basis so no horse is ever at risk again;
-Never relinquishes ownership, requiring any adopted horse in need of another home to be returned to SRF.
