Hidden Acres Rescue: Giving people purpose while providing horses a second chance at life
Hidden Acres Rescue for Thoroughbreds (HART) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2011 to promote the physical and emotional healing and well-being of thoroughbreds that are retiring from the racetrack.
We do this by rehabilitating horses and providing them the skills, confidence, and nurturing they need for a successful and smooth transition into their second careers and forever families.
Your Donation Dollars Hard at Work! What a difference a year makes.

Horses Available for Adoption
Thoroughbreds can be successful show or pleasure mounts beyond the track. With proper training there are no limits to what these horses can do.
Many have excelled in hunter/jumper, dressage, eventing, competitive trail riding, liberty and more.
These highly athletic and intelligent horses have so much more to offer individuals that take the time to love and teach them.
We Love our Volunteers. So Do Our Horses
Volunteers are the soul of Hidden Acres. We are dependent upon and very grateful to our volunteers who generously give of their time. We cannot function without volunteers helping every single day. Our volunteers are united by their passion for horses.
