Help Us Protect Thoroughbred Broodmares
Mareworthy Charities exists to develop and manage programs that ensure all Thoroughbred mares whose breeding careers have ended are tracked and provided with care that protects them from suffering and cruelty. We focus on education for owners and placement and sanctuary for retired Thoroughbred broodmares.
We rely on donations, merchandise sales, and any other creative ways we can support the horses we love. Your donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference!

Join us every Sunday in March and April for Shed It Sunday—where you can shed some stress, shed some hair, and maybe even shed a few pounds! As the seasons change, so do the coats of the Mareworthy mares! Shed It Sunday is a fun, interactive way for volunteers to lend a helping hand while getting a little workout in the process. Grooming a shedding horse not only keeps them comfortable and healthy, but it’s also a great way to stay active—just 20 minutes of currying burns approximately 166 calories!
