Our primary purpose is to provide rehabilitation and retraining of ex-racing Thoroughbreds and other needy and abused horses. Our goal is to rehabilitate our horses and place them with loving new homes. New York Horse Rescue was incorporated in 1998 and formally began operating in January 1999. The majority of support for New York Horse Rescue is from private individuals, primarily those people involved with Thoroughbred racehorses.
Support comes from owners, trainers, jockeys and horse lovers.
Since our inception, we have been able to help over 120 horses. As of January 2001 there have been 95 adoptions.
