Helping Horses & Kids Since 1989
840 Horses Helped in 2022! It was a year where SRF volunteers and staff spent more hours than ever to save the lives of trotters and pacers, diverted them from slaughter to safety. Donors make the difference for these animals and SRF is honored to bring their hearts to these horses in need. Eight hundred forty horses now live and do so with dignity.
Our $100,000 Match! SRF was so very fortunate to have several matching gifts offered this year, and when the final one came, it brought life to so many more in need. This is a tough mission, until the Safe Act or any legislation changes the outcome for these beautiful animals, the size and scope of the work at SRF depends on the support received. Horses under SRF’s expense and care, in homes, standing on slaughter lines hoping for help are the top priorities. Every day is filled with these needs. These gifts mean the world to these horses. We also received a matched offer for much needed hay. When we heard that our hay (continued on pg 3)

New Legislation Needs Your Voice The Assembly Bill A 4465 needs your voice. This proposed legislation will provide $50,000 for Thoroughbred aftercare, and the same for Standardbreds annually for five years. It was introduced by our late friend Assemblyman Ronald Dancer, of the Dancer family whose love for Standardbreds is steep in the history of this breed. In its current written state, these funds will not reach horses in the greatest need; it will distribute to programs that relinquish the horses and permit their sale; there will not be follow-up which risks the welfare of the horses; and there is no stipulation to distribute these funds based on the number of horses under the care of each eligible program. SRF asks that all readers contact Assemblyman Caputo at asmcaputo@njleg.org, 973450-0484; Assemblyman Coghlin at asmconghlin@ njleg.org, 732-855-7558; Assemblyman Sauickie at asmsauickie@njleg.org, 609-758-0205 to inform them to make certain these are addressed. We italicize above so you can use in your much needed phone call and email to each.
