Enchanted Thoroughbreds, a non-profit thoroughbred rescue and sanctuary in Bowie, focuses on saving thoroughbreds from slaughter due to age, injury, or other factors. The organization runs a Veterans “Therapy” Program that pairs veterans with horses, providing equine education and training with the goal of veterans adopting the horses they bond with. While they plan to add a licensed therapist, the current program fosters healing and connection through horse care.
The non-profit actively seeks donations and community involvement, with details available on their website. Upcoming events include a BBQ on September 6 for a meet-and-greet with the horses and a grand opening on November 11 to honor Veterans Day. These initiatives highlight Enchanted Thoroughbreds’ commitment to supporting both horses and veterans through collaborative care and outreach.
