LONG-RUN THOROUGHBRED RETIREMENT SOCIETY

The Long-Run Thoroughbred Retirement Society rescues retired racehorses and provides them with permanent sanctuary in Etobicoke. After their racing careers end, many thoroughbreds face uncertain futures, and this charity intervenes to offer safe pasture, veterinary care, and rehabilitation. The organization operates a residential facility where horses receive proper nutrition, medical attention, and time to recover from the physical and psychological demands of competitive racing. Staff and volunteers work to match horses with suitable homes or keep them at the sanctuary long-term, depending on individual needs and temperament. The society also educates the public about the racing industry's impact on horses and advocates for stronger protections throughout the sport.
