My first FFI adoption after helping many navigate their way with FFI. While that’s not a big story, that’s the happy ending.

A different kind of success story..

This success story isn't about one single horse, it's about a person that helps make our team successful.

Everyday working for Friends of Ferdinand is an adventure, and I'm lucky to have Bonnie along for the ride!

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.
