THOROUGHBRED RETIREMENT FARM

Through the efforts of the FTBOA, OBS and FHBPA, the Florida Thoroughbred Retirement Farm aims to offer a home to every Florida-bred horse that retires from the racetrack. The farm provides good character-building inmate training for both men and women inmates at the Marion and Lowell Correctional Institutions, and provides a haven to these once heroes of the track while preparing them for second careers or adoption. The Florida farm opened in 2001.
