 Equine Encore Foundation is a non-profit (501) (c) (3) corporation whose mission is to provide a retirement home for racehorses, both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses, who have served the industry well but whose racing careers have come to an end and who deserve to hang up their racing plates and bask in the Arizona sun.   As with all rescue operations, the major challenge is funding.  We receive support from the industry with our major supporters being Thoroughbred Charities of America, Second Call of Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ, The Arizona Racing Commission, the Arizona Quarter Racing Association and the Pima County Horsemen's Association.  Support also comes from grateful racehorse owners and fans of the sport.  We are working to establish a "social security" system for all racehorses through the racetracks but this is a difficult task.  We are hopeful that horse lovers in general and racehorse lovers specifically will help us with their tax-deductible donations.   Donations can be made online  as indicated below or mailed directly to us.  Via "Horse Talk" we hope to share some of our stories with you and to hear  yours as well.  I know a lot more about horses than I do computers so please forgive any computer errors!
