Overview

Mission

Providing a safe haven for retiring racehorses where they are rested, rehabilitated, retrained and adopted into appropriate homes. Additionally we assist in the placement of horses directly from the racetrack in order to prevent them from entering into the slaughter pipeline.

What it reported doing in 2011

Continued retraining program in three states to educate the community about racehorses, and educate the horses to enable to find them new homes. Continued track listing program to place 500 horses into new homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
