The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, Inc.^TM of South Carolina at the Wateree River Correctional Institution offers a place of hope and renewal for retired Thoroughbred horses and prison inmates. Horses are safe, well cared for and loved at Seabiscuit Stables. The caregivers here are also renewed, learning skills and building character that will benefit their future days. The TRF-SC provides horses refuge from various inhumane and disheartening alternatives, while teaching inmates practical tools of the equine industry, applicable to an array of jobs in South Carolina.

Support Us

We are seeking contributions to support the annual operating costs associated with racehorse rehabilitation and vocational training for inmates. The estimated cost per thoroughbred in the program is $1200 per year. The goal is to retrain retired thoroughbreds for adoption as hunter/jumpers or pleasure riding. Horses that can not be made adoptable will be transferred to a TRF Retirement Farm and pastured for their remaining days. Contact the S.C. Committee through the National Steeplechase Museum in Camden, S.C. at 803-432-6513.
