Every Racehorse Deserves a Second Wind.

We take off-track Thoroughbreds with uncertain futures and give them what they need most — time, expert care, and a real shot at a new life.

Some find new careers. Some find forever homes.

Some just finally get to be horses.

A Few of Our Horses

Betty

4-yr filly · Adoptable Soon

Sweet, sound, and just getting started. Betty arrived with severe abscesses in both front feet — our farrier worked wonders. She's ready to find out what she can do.

Magic

6-yr gelding · In Retraining

Big bright chestnut, retired simply because he wasn't earning enough — nothing wrong with him at all. Completely sound and full of potential.

Lass

4-yr filly · Surgery Needed

Came off the track with fractures in her right knee. Needs bone chip surgery and full rehab. She deserves a chance to find out what she can become.

A note from Dayle, our founder

I've been rehabbing off-track Thoroughbreds for 35 years — quietly, out of pocket, because someone had to. Then the horses started coming faster than I could handle alone, and Second Wind was born.

We're not a big organization. We're a barn family. And we could really use your help.
