FEATURED HORSE OF THE MONTH:
STONE COLD ANGEL (NOAH)
Noah can jump!!! This photo demonstrates the fabulous results one can get from off track thoroughbreds when
managed and trained by loving professionals. No one told Noah to jump that fence. He was taught to jump but now
when Noah gets in the arena he just naturally jumps over fences and is full of boundless
energy and joy. Photo courtesty of JenRenee Photography, Camarillo, CA.
Please click here for more information and current photos. Noah is currently not available
for adoption as he is in full training mode. If you would like us to adopt an off track TB for you and train him at our
facility please contact us to work out arrangements.

Sponsors Needed:
Please consider the following horses in need of sponsors or helping with general expenses:
Approximate Monthly Horse Costs
Feed: $90
Calculated at two flakes of hay a day and a moderately priced supplement.
Bedding: $48
A bag of shavings is approximately $6 and a horse will go through about two bags a week.
Hoof Care: $40-$85
A basic trimming is $40 a horse, but a trimming and shoes is $85. Cost only applies every other month.
Vaccinations: $85
A dewormer, four-way vaccine, and West Nile booster is given every six months for basic horse health.
Veterinary Care:
This is unknown and usually is what breaks the back of a rescue.
In total it costs about $300 a month for us to keep a horse in foster care and even $25 a month is helpful. Even committing
to something like a bag of shavings ($5) or a bale of hay ($20) helps tremendously and allows us to sponsor an
additional horse or two. Click on our PayPal button located on the left pane to help the horses now.
Please e-mail Karin or
contact by phone at (925) 980-7588 if you can help.

We recently auctioned two tickets to the FEI Rolex World Cup Jumping Finals to be held in Las Vegas
donated by our supporter and friend Francie Lehmer. We couldn't be more pleased with the lucky winner from
Oregon. "I own two Thoroughbred horses from off the track. They are wonderful, hard-working, big-hearted, beautiful
hunters and I will own them for the rest of their lives. They have had checkered pasts, you can tell, but they have
hearts of gold and we love them very much. They deserve the best and we are committed to giving it to them until the
end of their days. I am glad we can support your organization, knowing these guys sometimes need special homes. Warmly, Betsy (Elizabeth) McCool"

Our Mission
Neigh Savers Foundation was incorporated in July 2007 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation and has been certified by the IRS as a tax exempt charity. Any donations
made to Neigh Savers are fully tax deductible. Neigh Savers provides California’s
Thoroughbreds with a chance at a second career or a well deserved retirement when their
racing careers have come to an end due to soundness issues, age or lack of success at the
track.
Neigh Savers assists in making a “Thoroughbred Connection” that places a
deserving Thoroughbred into another life. Through our network we seek to find
Thoroughbreds new careers in dressage, eventing, pleasure riding, trail riding or as
therapy horses. If not suitable for any new career we try to find loving homes where a
horse can simply retire as a pasture ornament or serve as companion equines.
Neigh Savers does not have a private facility but rather works with established horse
facilities to temporarily foster before adoption if necessary. Neigh Savers does not have any paid staff or physical office location. Our Board of Directors also
donate their services making it possible for Neigh Savers to directly give back to the horses nearly every penny of every dollar
donated.
Neigh Savers also seeks to educate the general public and to remind those in racing
about humane retirement and second careers for Thoroughbreds as well as awareness of
medications administered to these horses in pursuit of success.
If you are willing to help, please refer to the Donate tab of our website for the many
options we have to offer in that regard.
