Connect with the horses on our farm

Our thoroughbred horse sanctuary is committed to providing retired horses with the comfort and care they need. Our horses are given plenty of love and attention, especially with equine enthusiasts visiting us so frequently.

After a racing horse retires, they often still have a sizable fan following. Now, fans can come visit their favorite stars in a peaceful, relaxing environment. Our farm gives horses the comfort and affection they deserve.

Interested in working with horses? We offer equine management courses to teach you everything you need to know about horse care, grooming and riding. Volunteers must take this course before doing any horse tasks or feedings.

Come to our farm in Lisbon, IA today to meet the horses.
