The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) will host an online 'Stallions for Second Chances Halter Auction' beginning Saturday, July 27 at 8:30 p.m. ET and concluding the evening of Saturday, Aug. 3. The halters of four stallions have been donated by their respective farms: Gun Runner (Three Chimneys); Into Mischief (Spendthrift); Tapit (Gainesway); and Uncle Mo (Coolmore America).
Each halter is accompanied by a handcrafted shadowbox made by artisan Matt Martinez of Martinez Woodworks in Lexington, Ky.
All proceeds will benefit The TRF Second Chances program, which gives incarcerated individuals the opportunity to participate in vocational training while learning how to care for horses. Over 400 horses are in the program.

TRF will host a second auction from Aug. 19-25 featuring halters from Arcangelo, Constitution, Flightline, Munnings, Not This Time, and Oscar Performance.
