Press releases and media coverage of the HISA Equine Recovery Foundation.
Past The Wire's Jonathan Stettin tells the story of Ryan, a HERF horse whose recovery — supported by the Empty Stall Challenge — illustrates how the foundation gives injured racehorses a second chance.
A HERF horse is thriving at Denali Stud as part of the Empty Stall Challenge — a new program asking Thoroughbred farms to donate empty stalls to host injured racehorses during rehabilitation.
HERF, a new charity in horse racing, performs free surgeries for horses injured on the track and gives them a second chance at life. The foundation accepts injured horses whose owners might otherwise have chosen to euthanize them and covers the cost of care and rehab.
HISA today announced the upcoming launch of the HISA Equine Recovery Foundation (HERF), an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing critical assistance for Thoroughbred racehorses sustaining a career-ending injury during racing.
