Although not techincally a rescue, this heaven-on-earth ranch in southern California is certainly the "last stop" for many a successful racehorse.

"CERF was founded in 1986 to provide charitable assistance to former race and performance horses upon the conclusion of their careers, through permanent retirement or rehabilitation into other careers."

Oh, I would LOVE to drive over and see their residents! They are only about an hour away!!! I'll take my camera! Thanks for sharing. My gelding came from United Pegasus Foundation, which is a PMU rescue in Hemet. Sometimes they have thoroughbreds, but they usually don't adopt them out. They do have LOTS of nice draft crosses, although he is a quarter horse. They bring the mares and foals down from Canada.
