More than 250 horses have been rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed after their racing days came to an end at Hidden Acres for Thoroughbreds in Port St. John.
President Dawn Kraut of Hidden Acres for Thoroughbreds said the former executive director of the non-profit, who also owns the land, is retiring and selling the property.
At risk of closing and relocating the horses, Kraut is organizing a GoFundMe fundraiser to collect enough donations to hopefully be the winning buyer.
Kraut said an appraiser valued the property at $650,000, so she’s hoping for at least $100,000 in donations to make a down payment on financing the purchase.
