Where Are We Located?

The horses that need a little time off to regroup mentally or physically are housed in private foster homes around central Indiana. Our foster homes are selected and invited to work with us. They are chosen because they are proven horsemen and women who are dedicated to the horses and the work that we do.

Once the vet clears the horses to begin working, they ship over to Greenstone Stables in Germantown OH.....

Why We Are Different

- We put the horse first, which usually costs more $ and takes more time.

- We are amateur competitors and pleasure riders, adopters, fosters and donors.

- We are professional eventers/trainers.

- We are racehorse owners/trainers that needed to safely retire horses.

We've been there and we get what is important to you as an adopter, a donor, a racehorse owner, or a trainer with a client looking for a horse.

FFI At A Glance

- Long-term dedication = the horses can always come back to FFI.

- The right match is key. Almost 100% of our horses adopted since 2015 are still with their adopters.

- Since 2005, 95% of our horses are thriving in their 2nd careers and have not returned to FFI.

- Our adopters give back and become our biggest supporters.
