The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation will open the doors of the historic house at TRF Sanctuary Farm at Chestnut Hall this December for the second annual Holiday Designer Show House to benefit the organization's herd of nearly 450 retired racehorses.

Tickets are $25 in advance and can be purchased at www.trfinc.org or for $30 at the door.

The TRF Sanctuary Farm at Chestnut Hall, located on 25 picturesque acres in Prospect, Ky., opened in April of 2021 and is home to several members of the Thoroughbred Retirement herd where they serve as equine ambassadors to the local community. The farm has hosted numerous events since opening and has welcomed thousands of visitors through tours with Visit Horse Country.
About TRF: Founded in 1983, the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation is a national organization devoted to saving Thoroughbred horses no longer able to compete at the racetrack from possible neglect, abuse, and slaughter. As the oldest Thoroughbred rescue in the country, the TRF provides lifelong sanctuary to retired Thoroughbreds throughout their lifetime.
Best known for its pioneering TRF Second Chances program, the organization provides incarcerated individuals with life-changing vocational training through its accredited equine care and stable management program. At eight correctional facilities across the US, including one juvenile justice facility, this program offers second careers to its horses and a second chance at life for program graduates upon release from prison.
