Days End Farm SANCTUARY

Horse Rescue REHABILITATION
RETRAINING/ADOPTION

TESTIMONIAL:
“The TAA has
helped fund ongoing
maintenance costs for
Thoroughbreds that
are thoroughly
rehabilitated. Some of
our Thoroughbreds
take longer to place,
and it is comforting
to know that TAA is
helping to underwrite
the cost of their care
and training while
helping spread the
word about the value
of these majestic
animals.”
