Meet True Brit and Sir Dunston, two of our beloved sanctuary residents at Akindale! 🐴💚 These horses have found a safe and peaceful home with us, where they enjoy their well-deserved retirement after their racing days.

Congratulations to Sarah on her adoption of Odeon! After 8 years in our Sanctuary, we decided to give this guy a go and we’re so happy we did. Unsurprisingly, “Odie” quickly became a barn favorite!

We are so lucky to have Dr. Bill Bradley and the excellent team at New England Equine Practice to help us find the best second careers for our horses. Odeon is grateful too; the picture says it all!

It takes a village to keep Akindale running in top shape! Not only do we have over 100 retired racehorses in our care, but we are also tasked with meticulously maintaining over 300 acres of land. Thank you to Filiberto, Miguel, Pilar, and Daniel for keeping the ship afloat!

Here is Filiberto keeping up with the summer grass on our Training Barn hill.

Today’s “through the ears” shot! Homeofthe Lombardi went for a nice hack around the farm after a fantastic training ride this morning.

Check out Lombardi (nickname ideas welcome, please!) on our website or send us a message for more info.

Check out Anne and Coltandmississippi! This pair just attended their first clinic with Isidro Espinoza and had a blast. “Cam” spent quite a while in our Sanctuary before meeting Anne and it looks like the wait was worth it!

Oh Donna has settled right in at her new home alongside another Akindale graduate, Barbara P! These girls were fast friends and we are thrilled to see them together. Congratulations to Erin Cecchini of Five Star Performance Horses on the adoption of our lovely Donna!

Fresh from a relaxing vacation in the Sanctuary, here’s Homeofthe Lombardi! This guy retired from racing back in 2020 and had a few knee chips removed before arriving at Akindale. Lombardi told us he wanted a little more time off before going back to work and we agreed. Finally, he is back and better than ever!

Lombardi has been working consistently under saddle and aims to please. He is an easy guy to have in the barn and will be the first to check your pockets for treats. In the right program, Lombardi should have no limitations from his previous injury. Check him out on our website and send us a message for more info!

Sanctuary Spotlight: Wayward Son and Gus!

Wayward Son (Left) is a fan favorite. You may recognize him from one of our photo sessions with the talented Jim Craner. Waylon can often be found tearing through the Sanctuary fields; he’s always the one to get everyone running!

Gus was one of the last horses to be born at Akindale in 2016 and was never started under saddle. Gus hangs out rent-free in our Sanctuary; unemployed and living the dream!

Interested in sponsoring a Sanctuary horse? Your donations would help to feed, trim, deworm, and vaccinate the horse of your choosing! Send us a message for more info.

Odeon has been a breath of fresh air at our Training Barn! After just a week under saddle since his racing career (we won’t tell you how long ago that was…), he went for a solo hack around the farm on the buckle. Talk about “been there, done that”!

Check out Odeon along with our other available horses on our website or shoot us an email for more info!

How’s this for retirement? Every year, we move our sanctuary herds out of their fields for a few weeks so we can do some much-needed spring cleaning. The boys on Akindale Road wasted no time stretching their legs!

Dancing in the Rain!

The Sanctuary horses sure enjoyed romping around through fields of puddles these last few days!

Block Party

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! ✨🎉 Block Party really showed some moves during her first time in the round pen today. We’re really excited about this girl and look forward to restarting her under saddle. She is available for adoption - check out more info on our website akindale.org! All those interested in joining the party, please inquire!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Our newest arrival Chess Spectacular is absolutely stunning and incredibly athletic! Chess is a 2020 gelding coming to us from the always-amazing @take2tbreds. He needs a little downtime to recover from the wear of the track and settle into a new path, but he is a true gem. We will keep you posted. Please help support his recovery by donating here! Every recovering horse takes the support of a community and we are grateful for whatever you can give. #akindale #akindalethoroughbredrescue #ottbsofinstagram #ottb #adoptdontshop #takethelead

Fresh Prinze stretches into new opportunity!

Talented OTTB “Fresh Prinze” manifests our current mood at Akindale as he stretches into new opportunities… With great change comes immense opportunity, and we couldn’t feel that more deeply at this beautiful place, in this beautiful time, with these beautiful horses. It is our moment for a fresh start, new ideas, and big ambitions driven by a whole lotta love and talent. WATCH THIS SPACE and visit us at akindale.org for new horses, exciting events, and behind the scenes action! #akindale #akindalethoroughbredrescue #refresh #rebuild #ottblove #ottb #adoptdontshop #thoroughbredaftercare

On todays episode of what we really do at Akindale…teaching new arrival, 🦄Mtothefifthpower what cookies are! Featuring two starving dogs. Her lose is their gain 😂 #rehabretrainrehome #ottb #thoroughbred #adoptablehorse #horseforadoption #adoptahorse #adoptdontshop #recyclearacehorse #raisedtoracerecycledtoride #Akindale #teamexcelsupplements

🦄Our American Star is quite literally a ⭐️ SOO brave to the jumps (probably the easiest horse I’ve ever started over the logs) and look at that jump 😍 This guy still needs a bit of down time after his racing career (couldn’t help myself playing with him), but he retired sound and is going to be a top horse! He won’t be lasting long, so be sure to check him out if you’re interested! #rehabretrainrehome #ottb #thoroughbred #adoptablehorse #horseforadoption #adoptahorse #adoptdontshop #recyclearacehorse #raisedtoracerecycledtoride #Akindale #teamexcelsupplements

Our second horse that you will be able to meet on Saturday at our Open Barn 🎄 is, 🦄Ironic Lady! Ironic lady is a gorgeous grey with a gorgeous build. She would excel in any direction, but will need someone with experience to bring her along as she is still quite young and full of energy. She will hopefully be getting front shoes next week as her racing plates have falling off conveniently, and start into work once her cut heals. If 🦄Ironic Lady has caught your eye, come meet her on Saturday from 12-3 at the training barn, where she might just be the best Holiday present you’ve ever given yourself! 🎁 #rehabretrainrehome #ottb #thoroughbred #adoptablehorse #horseforadoption #adoptahorse #adoptdontshop #recyclearacehorse #raisedtoracerecycledtoride #Akindale #teamexcelsupplements

Come meet 🦄Mighty Wind🦄 this Saturday from 12-3 at our 🎄OPEN BARN 🎄 He is one of our adoptable horses and would love to be your next forever horse just in time for the holidays! *dog not included 😂* #rehabretrainrehome #ottb #thoroughbred #adoptablehorse #horseforadoption #adoptahorse #adoptdontshop #recyclearacehorse #raisedtoracerecycledtoride #Akindale #teamexcelsupplements
