A Cowboy And His Off Track Thoroughbred

It takes a special horse to enter a trainer’s barn and never leave. Hum Baby is just that type of horse.

What It's Like Adopting from Friends of Ferdinand - Kellee & Penny's Story

Kellee M. had been searching for a new horse last fall. An off-track Thoroughbred mare didn't seem to fit her "ideal" criteria, yet when she met Filly Named Billy, it was love at first sight. Now called Penny, the chestnut mare has become Kellee's best friend.

Why We Are Different

- We put the horse first, which usually costs more $ and takes more time.

- We are amateur competitors and pleasure riders, adopters, fosters and donors.

- We are professional eventers/trainers.

- We are racehorse owners/trainers that needed to safely retire horses.

We've been there and we get what is important to you as an adopter, a donor, a racehorse owner, or a trainer with a client looking for a horse.

FFI At A Glance

- Long-term dedication = the horses can always come back to FFI.

- The right match is key. Almost 100% of our horses adopted since 2015 are still with their adopters.

- Since 2005, 95% of our horses are thriving in their 2nd careers and have not returned to FFI.

- Our adopters give back and become our biggest supporters.

The horses are located at different farms in Indiana and Ohio. If you are looking to visit the horses, please submit an adoption application and we will get you scheduled out to visit and provide you location information at that time.
