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

"It is more rewarding to do well on a baby OTTB than win on a fancy horse. Chappie and I came in 14th place and I was so proud."

Adopting April is the best decision I ever made and now I get to ride the coolest, smartest, sharpest, hardest working horse in the world. I'm grateful every day to have her!

"Everyone loves her and she's healthy and happy.
Thanks again for bringing us together; I couldn't be happier!" ~ Melanie

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.
