New England Thoroughbred Retirement Center

Animal rescue in Deerfield, NH

We work directly with professional horsemen, trainers and owners at racecourses and breeding farms across the United States to ensure that Thoroughbred racehorses no longer fit for competition on the racetrack are provided with first-rate care for the rest of their lives. Each horse is rehabilited right here, at our own Watchtower Farm.
We’ve rehabilitated and retrained a wonderful variety of horses that includes Thoroughbreds from Kentucky, Florida, New York, California, Great Britain and Brazil.
All of our horses begin their retirement at Watchtower Farm in Deerfield, New Hampshire. Each one enjoys the security of a large box-stall at night and is turned-out on pasture every day. Our volunteer staff works hard every day, ensuring each horse receives the very best of care. We proudly maintain a selection of retired Thoroughbreds available for conditional-sale, lease and sponsorship that includes re-trained, Thoroughbred riding-horses and excellent sport-horse prospects.
