About the Florida TRF Farm

About the Florida TRF Farm

 

Situated on 100 grassy acres in northeast Marion County, the Florida Thoroughbred Retirement Farm is home to more than 50 Florida-bred former racehorses. Many of the horses arrive at the farm after their careers on the racetrack are over. Sure, their racing days are behind them, but after rest and retraining, many of the horses at the Florida TRF are ready for adoption. They go on to enjoy second careers in dressage, trail riding, jumping, and pleasure riding. Even those horses that are not rideable may find adoptive homes as companion animals.
