potential adopters are thoroughly screened and require, veterinary, neighbor, personal and farrier references including a boarding facility screening. All SRF horses have had a career, if not on the track due to lack of competitiveness, they can become have also become standing stallions or broodmares for breeding prior to coming to SRF. Standardbreds are extremely versatile; they are level headed, gentle and sweet by nature. Disciplined track life has gifted them with many desirable qualities in the world of pleasure horses. In addition, these beautiful horses are able to face every task put before them with gentleness, patience and a heart that knows no limit. Their range of disciplines and new careers vary from dressage, pleasure driving, security, therapy programs, eventing (hunter/jumper) and endurance to trail horses. Our pasture puffs that can no longer be ridden serve as wonderful companions to single horse homes since horses are herd animals and do well with companionship. The SRF is the proud recipient of the following national awards: The Harness Tracks of America (HTA) Distinguished Service Award The ARCI International Animal Welfare Award The USHWA Proximity Award The American Association of Equine Practitioner’s Award A Finalist for the Lavin Cup. The United States Trotting Association (USTA) has endorsed the SRF Programs and Constituency Served by SRF Horses Population Served: The population covered is a full range from young to aged. This includes those able bodied, as well as physically, emotionally and/or mentally challenged from all backgrounds, ethnicities and classes. SRF is a national organization and serves people from all over the country not only through adoptions, but through various programs and services helping children, adults and the general public. SRF has three full-time and three part-time staff members plus countless volunteers throughout the US. Programs NJJJS Program - The SRF has initiated a program with the New Jersey Department of Juvenile Justice System, the New Jersey Department of Education and Rutgers University. This program will use horses provided by the SRF to teach social skills required by the youth for re-entering society. Trust, teamwork, responsibility, kindness, love, dedication, etc. are a few of the traits that can be developed from dealing with horses, as they are non-judgmental. The state has built a large compound with three stalls for horses and training facilities at the Jamesburg Home for Boys to be used for this particular program. The state has also hired a USTA Licensed Trainer to head up the program. The overall goal is to develop a program to serve as a model for the State and possibly the country, working with juvenile justice systems. The USTA has approved the program and will issue certificates of completion to those that qualify.
Therapeutic Riding Programs –Horses serve as a tool for physical therapy, emotional growth and learning. Many riders experience a connection to the horse that few sports can create. For those riders who cannot walk, the horse is their vehicle of transport. Not only does this help raise their self-esteem but it also teaches them essential skills. It improves balance, creates trust and creates a friendship between rider and horse. The types of disabilities and conditions such therapy can serve are: Amputees Brain Injuries Cardiovascular Accident/Stroke Cerebral Palsy Chemical Abuse Down Syndrome Hearing Impairments Learning Disabilities Mental Retardation Multiple Sclerosis Muscular Dystrophy Post Polio Speech Impairments Spina Bifida Spinal Cord Injuries Visual Impairments Horsetime Therapy Program – Specialized program created by Kathy Krupa offering certified equine assisted psychotherapy services and Equine Assisted Learning (EAP) and Awareness in New Jersey and has unmatched experience providing EAP to children who suffered from abuse, neglect or suffer from emotional issues. The program emphasizes the unique needs of each individual child to promote growth. Learning about themselves and witnessing how changes in their behavior, thoughts and feelings can bring positive change in their lives. The program is dedicated to providing a safe, positive and professional experience for the children open up in a trusting secure environment to develop and enhance interpersonal and communication skills that can be transferred into home, school and the community. Constituency Served-Community Safety, Security and Eventing Mounted Police Horses – Officers and horses used honorably protect and serve communities and cities such as, Newark- NJ, Philadelphia- PA, Richmond- VA and Omaha- NE. Mounted Police Units are an invaluable tool in crowd control and public relations as well as the enforcement of city ordinances and state law. All supervisors, police officers, and horses work together to provide the community effective, quality service. Due to the increased height on a horse the mounted officer is able to survey a large area quickly and address problem situations effectively. The officer and his mount are also a crime deterrent due to their increased visibility to the public. A mounted officer, on horseback, is able to transverse geographical areas in which it would be difficult for police officers in cars, on bicycles or on foot to proceed. Rutgers University Patrol Horses – The Rutgers University Mounted Patrol, the only studentrun mounted patrol in the country, includes more than a dozen university students who must
