Pictured above, Sandro is our newest handsome Thoroughbred that we have the privilege of rehabilitating and retraining so he is prepared for his next chapter as an amazing horse.
For 32 years, South Florida SPCA, Inc. has been a beacon of hope for horses in need. As a 501(c)(3) equine rescue and rehabilitation center, SFSPCA owns and operates a 10-acre ranch in Homestead, Florida, where horses find refuge, healing, and a path to new beginnings. Our dedicated staff and team of compassionate volunteers ensure every horse receives the highest quality of care and kindness.
Proudly accredited by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance since 2015, South Florida SPCA upholds the strict standards of excellence required to maintain that distinction—providing exceptional housing, nutrition, medical care, and training for retired Thoroughbreds. Accreditation is more than a seal of approval; it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to the well-being of every horse we serve.
Financial support from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) helps us meet the significant costs of caring for and retraining off-track Thoroughbreds. This partnership allows us to focus on what truly matters—rehabilitating, retraining, and finding loving homes for these magnificent athletes. Our Board remains steadfast in its commitment to fundraising efforts that ensure the long-term stability of our mission.
Off-track Thoroughbreds are remarkable animals—athletic, intelligent, and full of heart. Their grace and determination on the racetrack translate into versatility and spirit in their next careers, from dressage and trail riding to therapy work and companionship. Every adoption is a joyful new beginning and a testament to the power of compassion and second chances.
As equine author Pam Brown once wrote, “A horse is the projection of people’s dreams about themselves—strong, powerful, beautiful—and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.” Through our ongoing collaboration with Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, the South Florida SPCA is honored to help these horses rediscover their spirit, reclaim their strength, and embrace a future filled with grace and freedom.
