ONE SUCCESS STORY

Mitchell Farm Equine Retirement, Inc.

Mitchell Farm is a multiple BEWF grantee. They provide a safe and comfortable retirement for aged and infirm horses to live out their lives and they offer educational opportunities on senior horse care and management.

Mitchell Farm currently cares for 24 retired horses (with over 70 horses on the waiting list) and assures that each retiree is indeed “retired” and never to be ridden or worked again. All horses have a stall to return to in the evening or during bad weather, but they spend as much time as possible grazing in pastures in the beautiful Salem Valley.

Mitchell Farm is fully accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and represents the kind of well-run, outstanding organizations that are awarded BEWF grants.
