Founded in 2007 by Karin Wagner, the nonprofit Neigh Savers Foundation seeks to provide second careers or peaceful retirements to California's former thoroughbred racehorses. Working with horse owners, trainers and racetracks, the foundation looks to ensure peaceful lives for horses that have retired due to age, illness or lack of success. Neigh Savers also aims to increase awareness both within the racing world and the general public about humane animal treatment and the possibility of second chances. Neigh Savers provides temporary horse shelter and foster care, and horse adoption services and hosts local fundraising and educational events.
