SECOND STRIDE PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL REHABILITATION, RETRAINING AND PLACEMENT OF RETIRED THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSES with a goal of ensuring safe, healthy and productive lives after the race track. The program specializes in giving retired thoroughbreds the proper care and quality training they need to succeed in something new.
SECOND STRIDE IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, from our groomers to our board members and management team. We strive to be a first rate quality program that is fiscally responsible. Our funding goes straight to the care of our horses. We welcome our adopters and donors to visit our facilities at any time.
SECOND STRIDE SEEKS VOLUNTEERS with experience in fundraising and a passion for helping retired thoroughbred racehorses, as we work toward our goal to develop a financial base of support to care for more horses. Our program is small and in it's formative years, so every volunteer can make a huge impact. Email us at info@secondstride.org if you'd like to VOLUNTEER.
Former Second Stride horses are now competing in dressage, eventing and polo, working as search and rescue horses, ranch cutting horses, lesson horses or trail or pleasure horses. Since its inception in 2005, Second Stride has placed more than 250 horses in new homes, over 70 placed in 2010! In addition to helping those horses, many people have benefited by having a great new companion.
