Years as an Organization:

Description:
DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary and Equus Sanctuary is located on 2000 acres in the Northeastern section of California and is a safe haven for wild and domestic horses. Mustangs who were removed from their home range by the BLM or other state or federal agencies are returned to a life of freedom and self determination in herd environments. Domestic horses are managed in groups according to age and/or mobility with an emphasis on room to just be a horse. The sanctuary consists of wild range areas with juniper and sage, ponds, canyons and ridges. The main facility has a 6000 sq ft barn, paddocks and various sizes of pastures for the domestic horses. DreamCatcher/Equus operates as a "green" and off-the-grid facility using alternative power, grows their own hay and is working on a hay co-op for large animal sanctuaries. Inquiries for retirement services are also welcome but require a one-time donation for lifetime care.
Giving to DreamCatcher /Equus can be done on-line ( www.equus.org ) via credit card (530) 260-0148 or check by mail. Material donations are gratefully accepted and their most pressing need is for used farming/haying and irrigation equipment, seed appropriate for their growing area and tools of every type.

| Standardbred Retirement Foundation

Years as an Organization:

Description:
Mission
The Standardbred Retirement Foundation, Inc. (SRF) is a private, non-profit, tax exempt organization created to care for, rehabilitate and secure lifetime adoption of non-competitive racehorses, to ensure their proper care with follow up, and combine the needs of youth at risk and these horses in therapeutic equine programs to benefit both.
History
The SRF was created in 1989 by Mrs. Judith Bokman, wife of a prominent Equine Practitioner in New Jersey, Dr. Stephen Bokman DVM, when realizing what was happening to the Standardbreds that could no longer be competitive as racehorses. She contacted Mrs. Paula Campbell, wife of Hall of Fame Standardbred Driver John Campbell, who also realized the need and joined Mrs. Bokman in the development of the SRF. Later in the development process, the Youth Programs were incorporated into the SRF. It was granted exemption from Federal Income Tax status as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit Foundation in 1991.
Although the horse racing industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, the Standardbred racing industry had made no provisions to support these grand horses when their racing careers came to an end. Some horses end their careers at a young age with injuries or lack of racing ability, but with rest and rehabilitation provided by SRF, these lovely animals become wonderful riding, driving, eventing or trail horses. But some retire from racing not healthy enough to be transitioned to a new career. As a result, the SRF steps in to provide the adoption and rescue services necessary to ensure that these noble horses are retired with the dignity and care that they deserve and with the intent of finding them permanent homes. Many are never adopted due to physical condition or age and remain under the SRF’s care in various boarding farms.
Placements
The SRF is celebrating its 17th year of operation with nearly 2,000 adoptions to-date. 2005 was our best year ever, with nearly 200 adoptions taking place. Some of the factors contributing to this were people with horse-related experience on the SRF staff, the addition of a second placement coordinator, attending and participating in many more horse-related events during the year, showing our horses and telling our story, and public relations being generated through the news media in greater numbers via many more sources.
Why adopt a Standardbred?
Imagine a horse that every family member can enjoy- a horse that is kind, gentle, versatile and
much more. Imagine a horse whose disciplined track life has gifted him/her with many desirable qualities in the world of pleasure horses. The horse is a Standardbred, a cross between the Thoroughbred and the Morgan. These gentle, beautiful horses are available through the SRF’s award winning adoption program.
Standardbreds are making the successful transition to lives and careers that are far removed from the track. The Standardbred horse has a great deal of versatility and has so much to offer. In addition, these beautiful horses are able to face every task put before them with gentleness, patience and a heart that know no limit. The Standardbred has already been trained on the bit and knows how to walk, trot, back up and stand patiently in crossties. Standardbreds also enjoy being groomed, bathed and fussed with. They know how to load in/out of a horse trailer, travel and unload. Many Standardbreds have experience around noisy, horsy, active places like race paddocks and /or racetracks. Lastly, these horses clip very well, have their legs wrapped and usually have been taught to wear blankets and coolers.
Adoption Requirements
All adopters of SRF horses are pre-qualified in great detail to insure that they are knowledgeable in the care and maintenance of horses, have the necessary facilities to meet SRF Standards and are looking for a long-term relationship with the horses.
Adoption Follow-up
The SRF employees or SRF volunteers follow-up on all horses after they are permanently relocated to insure that the minimum standards of the SRF are continually being met (i.e. - fencing, pasture, water, feed when pasture is inadequate, shelter from inclement weather, farrier, as needed and Vet checks semi-annually with the Vet report coming back to the SRF. The horses cannot be raced, bred, sold, used for embryo trnasfer, given away or used for any commercial purpose. While SRF encourages lifetime adoptions, if adopters cannot provide proper care for any reason the horse must be returned to the SRF. Why follow-up? The number one cause of abuse is neglect through the loss of interest, according to the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP).
Boarding and Rehab Farms
The SRF uses pre-qualified boarding and rehabilitation farms as an interim stop for the horses when they first enter the program. The horses are examined and classified via the Henneke Form as to its shape and condition upon arrival at the farms. The farms are regularly checked by SRF personnel or SRF volunteers to insure that the horses are being properly cared for and the farms are maintaining the standards prescribed by the SRF for all farms; fencing, pasture or feed and hay if pasture is not adequate, water, and shelter. The SRF currently uses 26 boarding and rehab farms to care for horses of all ages and physical condition. Most are classified as “pasture pals,” as age or injury prevent them from being ridden. Some may never be adopted but will remain under the care and expense of the SRF. Not having our own central location for boarding and rehab, in addition to conducting youth programs, causes a logistical hardship and great expense for the SRF, both in finding more adopters and the continuity of our youth programs.

TLHR provides them with care, love and rehabilitation; and finally find them a forever, loving home.

That is where YOU come in. We as a Rescue effort require many things, including monetary donations, donations of food, grooming and care items to help in our efforts, and most importantly, VOLUNTEERS!! LOTS of volunteers!
It is our hope, that as you tour our pages here at TLHR, that you will find yourself in a position wanting to help, by donating items/money, or by volunteering your time as a worker, a foster home, a prospective adoptive home, a transporter, or any one of our other volunteer positions. Donations are tax deductible per IRS Guidelines.
ALL inquiries and donations are welcome. If you want to help, be sure you contact TLHR so that we may begin the process with you.
