Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

There are a lot of rescues that hold fundraisers online, but they don't always get a lot of press. I thought it would be nice to keep track of some of them here, since many of them are auctioning items that a lot of us would love to have.

Edit: I think it's important to list the end date if it's an auction, so people know not to keep looking

Thank you for doing this! I've thought about it, but never had time to do it.

Here's the link to the halter auction. The starting bids are a little high, but they have some nice ones that you don't see all the time.
