We welcomed the bp/Thorntons Leadership Team to Chestnut Hall for a volunteer morning supporting TRF. They learned about our mission and met the amazing horses in our herd. Their generous paddock sponsorship helps provide lifelong care for retired thoroughbreds.

After a career that spanned nine years and 142 races, most of them in Puerto Rico, Immortal Wink was done. Though a typical second career wasn’t possible for the war horse, a new chapter with the @trfinc Second Chances Program was.
