Annie, pictured above, is just one of the magnificent Thoroughbreds we have had the pleasure of rehabilitating and retraining in preparation for her next chapter.

South Florida SPCA, Inc. is a 32-year-old, 501(c)3 equine rescue and rehabilitation center in South Florida. SFSPCA owns and operates a 10-acre ranch in Homestead, Florida. We are proud to have a robust volunteer core comprised of horse loving, care giving humans that add to the quality of care that we provide for our horses. The organization has been accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance since 2015.

To remain accredited, we must meet strict standards of care and operation. These standards include providing proper housing, nutrition, medical care, and training for retired Thoroughbreds. Accreditation signifies that we are committed to the well-being of the horses in our care. Financial support from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance helps cover the costs of caring for retired Thoroughbreds, allowing us to focus on rehabilitating, retraining, and rehoming horses. Our Board is committed to additional fundraising on behalf of the horses in our care to ensure the financial stability of the organization so that we can fulfill our ongoing commitment to the needs of our horses.

Off-track Thoroughbreds are amazing and beautiful animals that deserve a second chance after their racing careers. Thoroughbreds are renowned for their athleticism, stamina, and intelligence. These traits make them ideal candidates for various equestrian activities beyond the racetrack.

It is our greatest joy to rehabilitate and retrain our Thoroughbreds, culminating with finding the perfect adopter to love and care for them in their next chapter. We strive to ensure that every Thoroughbred is properly matched so that every adoption is a happy ending, filled with love and hope for the future.

“The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and freedom,” said Sharon Ralls Lemon. No truer words have been spoken when working with off-track Thoroughbreds. Thanks to our collaboration with Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, the South Florida SPCA family is blessed to have the opportunity to serve horses that embody this quote.
