Long Shadows Farm and ACTT Naturally will host visiting hours and tours every Tuesday, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM, from July 22 through Aug. 26. Located 30 minutes from Saratoga Springs, in Cambridge, New York, Long Shadows Farm is the center to a pair of Thoroughbred aftercare programs: Long Shadows Charitable Foundation and ACTT Naturally.
The Tuesday tours will include demonstrations in Thoroughbred retraining, introductions to retired Thoroughbred racehorses, and presentations about Thoroughbred aftercare and second careers for Thoroughbred racehorses.
“Many Thoroughbreds are not immediately ready for second careers, or they may never be,” said Quinn Porter, Equine Care Manager and trainer for Long Shadows. “At Long Shadows, we give the Thoroughbreds the time they need before starting a second career or settling into a herd environment for lifetime sanctuary. We look forward to sharing our rehabilitation and retraining model with interested visitors and introducing them to our friendly horses.”
Every Tuesday, training demonstrations will take place at 11:00 am and 1:30 pm, followed by a question-and-answer session. Farm tours will depart at 12:00 pm and 2:30 pm. Visitors are required to register in advance by email (Valerie@acttnaturally.org), call 518-928-6161, or by visiting www.acttnaturally.org or www.LongShadowsHorses.org.
Donations, to be shared equally among the two charities, are encouraged.
