 Our Mission Statement

We will stand in the gap for injured thoroughbred racehorses just moments off the track. We will provide nurturing care, rehabilitation, and training for these fallen athletes. We will guard their dignity with our integrity; teaching them - through love, commitment, and endurance - to become effective mentors for our returning military vets.



Most of the injured and retired thoroughbred racehorses are transported for slaughter or auctioned within days of leaving the track for what became, in that race, their last time.

80% of those horses can be rehabilitated.
 
Our mission is to save those horses, that can be rehabilitated, one at a time giving them, and the people whose lives they can change, another chance.

 

 

 Hold your strength till the barriers fly,
 then close with the leaders eye to eye.

Thundering hooves and the mad jammed race,

blood in the nostrils, sweat in the face.

And children, remember wherever you are,
 you carry the blood of Man o' War."

 

Maverick and Solo Tour, horses saved through Standing in the Gap, are both 9th generation/direct bloodline, of Man O’ War.

Standing In The Gap is a 501(c) 3 non-profit whose mission is to rehab and retrain injured racehorses.
