Down the Stretch Ranch

Down the Stretch Ranch The foundation is a non-profit thoroughbred race horse retirement facility which connects retired or injured race horses with United States Veterans.

The core of the foundation is to acquire thoroughbred race horses that can no longer perform at the track because of age, injury or ability. These horses will be utilized to serve the community by providing therapeutic rehabilitation to veterans of war, both horses and humans will thrive from this unique opportunity. The horses will live out their lives in the comfort and honor they deserve and a

wide range of veterans will benefit from the relationships they develop with these animals. Through the use of equine therapy, these incredible animals will bring comfort and companionship to veterans of war. These horses can effectively change the lives of American Veterans who suffer from a diverse range of disadvantages and disabilities. Down the Stretch, will work collaboratively with interested owners, to assure horses can be placed in suitable homes after they have been evaluated on the ranch. These horses may be used for gaming, dressage or western pleasure. Down the Stretch will have an open door policy for any horse taken from the ranch to return.
