"WE MUST SUMMON THE BEST MINDS"
In light of the Barbaro Tragedy, our mission is to
raise funds for equine hospitals across the
country for continuing research, funding
new equipment and services in the hopes
of saving other racehorses that break down
as Barbaro has. A portion of all proceeds
will be donated to a Barbaro Fund
for retired racehorses.
If we can raise enough funds,
can we save 2 racehorses per day?

in Blood Horse written by Laura Hillenbrand
The funds needed to support such a
grand undertaking would be enormous.
Our goal is to appoint a Barbaro Ambassador
from each state to lead that states
fund raising effort for our cause.
From the moment a horse breaks down
and on through the convalescence period,
the average funds could range from
tens of thousands of dollars for just one horse.
Together, although we may not be able to
save them all, we may help save more
tomorrow than we did today.

About The Founder
As a member of the ASPCA and because of my love and compassion for all animals, I knew, that I would one day start an organization that would benefit the lives of all animals. As an active participant in the thoroughbred industry and a racehorse owner myself,
I was completely captivated as I watched Barbaro break
down at the Preakness. Witnessing this event,
I knew that my "One Day" had come .
