The Standardbred Retirement Foundation is holding a Meet & Greet “Test Drive” a Standardbred open house May 12 from 1-4 p.m. at Walnridge Farm, 42 Arneytown-Hornerstown Rd., Cream Ridge.
It offers a chance to look over more than 65 horses available for adoption. Some of them will be available to ride in fun classes—from crossrails and Simon Says to an obstacle course at the walk. Prizes and ribbons will be offered.
Registration online at www.adoptahorse.org/meet-and-greet is required by April 23 for those who want to ride.
Another option is the Companion Horse Super Hero Makeover, an opportunity to give companion horses some love and dress them as a Super Hero for the contest and parade.
Want to adopt? Applications are available online at www.AdoptaHorse.org/applications. Should you have adoption in mind, it’s a good idea to fill out the application before coming to the farm.
For more information, contact the organization via email at SRF.HorsesandKids@AdoptaHorse.org or call the office at (732) 446-4422.
SRF is the largest Standardbred adoption program in the U.S., feeding and caring for more than 350 trotters and pacers, while providing lifetime homes for more than 180 retirees. It provides lifetime follow-up for all the adopted horses, so they will never be at risk again.
