The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its annual TRF Online Auction, hosted on eBay for Charity from November 4 through November 13, 2025. Featuring nearly 50 horse and racing-related items, the auction directly benefits the TRF's mission to provide dignified lifetime care to retired Thoroughbred racehorses. The TRF is the oldest and largest Thoroughbred aftercare organization in the United States, currently caring for nearly 400 retired racehorses across 13 sanctuary farms, including eight that operate within state correctional facilities as part of the TRF Second Chances Program. Through this program, retired racehorses help incarcerated individuals develop vocational and life skills, offering healing and rehabilitation for both horses and humans. This year's auction includes: ● Thorpedo Anna Shadowboxed halter with certificate of authenticity ● Autographed memorabilia from industry connections ● Artwork, photography, and handcrafted items "Our online auction is always a fun way for friends of the TRF to get involved," said Maggie Sweet, Executive Director of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. "Every bid makes a real difference in providing dignified lifetime care to our herd."
