Caring for retired athletes requires a massive amount of daily resources. We greatly appreciate in-kind donations such as feed, gently used tack, equestrian equipment, farm supplies, and professional services. If you have specific items you wish to donate, please reach out to us so we can confirm they match the current needs of our herd.

Thank you for your generosity!

Community engagement is a core pillar of our mission!

Depending on the nature of the event, the travel logistics, and—most importantly—the physical and mental well-being of our horses, we do participate in local parades and educational gatherings.

Bringing our horses into the community is a wonderful way to raise awareness for equine aftercare.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with us with the details of your event to discuss availability and coordinate logistics.

We rely on the passion and dedication of our community to fulfill our promise.

Whether you have years of hands-on equestrian experience or simply a deep love for animals, we have a place for you.

Our Director of Volunteer Services coordinates a variety of opportunities, ranging from daily farm chores and grooming to assisting at community outreach events.

A major part of our mission is rehabilitating and retraining thoroughbreds and sport horses so they can transition into successful second careers.

Many of our horses are looking for their forever homes as pleasure riding mounts, therapy partners, or loving companions.

We have a careful screening process to ensure the absolute best match for both the horse and the adopter.

We firmly believe that every horse has earned a dignified retirement, regardless of their physical limitations.

For those athletes who are unable to be retrained or adopted due to age or injury, Pirates’ Promise provides a permanent, safe sanctuary.

They will live out the rest of their days with us in comfort, receiving top-tier care and plenty of treats.

We love introducing our supporters to the incredible animals they are helping to save!

However, for the safety and routine of our horses and staff, we do not operate as an open public facility. All stable visits and tours must be scheduled in advance by appointment.

Please send us a message to set up a time to visit!
