CATSKY is looking for sponsors for his recovery
CATSKY has been donated to Remember Me Rescue by his owner and trainer at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans. Catsky was injured in his last race tearing a suspensory ligament which ended his racing career. He is currently at Remember Me Rescue and his injury is being treated daily to minimize the pain and inflammation as well as to aid in the healing process. In most cases horses recover from suspensory ligament injuries with 9 to 12 months of stall rest. After he has been properly rested we will re-evaluate him and decide whether he will be suitable for light riding or need a companion home. We are currently seeking sponsors to help pay for the long term care he will need while at Remember Me. Please consider being a sponsor for Catsky with a monthly donation to help cover the costs of his rehabilitation and recovery. We couldn't do what we do without the support of horse lovers.
We couldn't do this without the generosity of horse lovers. Join the mission to help rehab and retrain these great horses by making a donation to their care. In 2010 Remember Me Racehorse Rescue plans to start training some of the retired racehorses for mounted patrol careers and will place them mounted patrol, police, and sheriff departments all over the United States. But to do this we need your help. Please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Remember Me to help us in our mission to place retired racehorses in new homes.

Yammi arrived at RMR very thin on May 18, 2009. His owner said he couldn't afford the expensive he needed to stay in a healthy condition. Yammi had major problems. His teeth were in terrible condition. The bottom molars were going through the top gum and one bottom front tooth was going straight out of his lip. His hooves were actually starting to turn loose of the foot from malnutrition. In 2 months and and with lots of help from loving donors Yammi has been fully restored to a healthy condition. His hooves have grown and he has put on much needed weight. He is now fat and slick with tons of personality. We are even riding him bareback and bridle-less now. Yammi's care is ongoing although he is in great shape he will be hard to place in a new home due to his age. Any donation towards his care will be very much appreciated. You can donate through paypal or send us your tax deductible donation by snail mail. We appreciate all of your help, we couldn't help old guys like him without donations to keep our program going.
"Each and every horse I rode in my career helped make my career. Each one meant something to me, whether it was a low level claimer or a Derby winner. Every horse deserves a happy life at the end of their racing career. Unfortunately, most don't get one. Remember Me Rescue can make a difference by giving horses the happy life they deserve after their racing career."

Volunteer at Remember Me Rescue
We are currently looking for volunteer grooms to help care for our horses. Because these horses are off the track and are sometimes a handful we prefer you have experience working with horses to be considered for the volunteer groom position. We are also looking for people with show or jumping experience to exercise and help retrain the rescue horses. Please contact Donna Keen at 817-689-1214 if you would like to volunteer.

About us...
Dallas and Donna Keen Founders of Remember Me Rescue
Dallas Keen has been working with thoroughbred racehorses since he was a child. He is a third generation horse trainer originally from Colorado where his father and mother operated a thoroughbred farm and training facility. Dallas started galloping racehorses at the age of 7 and by age 9 he was placed on the payroll. After high school Dallas moved to Texas and started his own horse training business where he not only worked with racehorses but specialized in breaking problem horses that no one else could break. Needless to say he has dedicated his whole life to the horse industry and loves horses.
Donna Keen also started working with horses at a young age. Although neither of her parents were involved in the horse industry, Donna was set on making a career working with horses. She has been breaking and training horses since 1985 and has training in almost every discipline. Donna started training thoroughbred racehorses in 1992 now she and Dallas have successfully raised and trained many thoroughbred winners.
In the last few years the need to place retired horses has weighed heavy on their hearts. In 2004 Dallas and Donna started small, rescuing and placing a few horses a year. Since then they have successfully placed over 60 horses in new homes around the country.
Remember Me Rescue got it's start in 2008 which will allow the Keens to help more horses than ever. With the ability to accept donations for the care, rehabilitation and retraining of exracers Dallas and Donna with the help of many others will make a difference in the lives of hundreds of horses.
