Remember Me Rescue is a non profit horse rescue organization formed by Dallas and Donna Keen to assist retired and injured racehorses after their careers at the track are over. We accept, rehabilitate, and retrain exracehorses with the hopes of finding them new homes with responsible owners.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT We rely totally on donations from horse lovers, horse breeders and racing fans alike. Please consider donating to our continuing efforts to place these horses with new families.

This sweet gelding was brought to us by a man who could no longer take care of him. He said he couldn't afford to buy the expensive feed that he needed to gain weight and couldn't find anyone that would take him. He called me last week and we set up a time to have him brought to Remember Me Rescue. He has almost no teeth and was severely underweight. He is currently on a diet of timothy/alfalfa hay and Purina Equine Senior with bran mash. He eats up every bite until he is licking the bottom of the bucket. Please help us with our quest to get this old guy back on his feet again. Our estimated rescue costs for him is will be about $1000 for the first two months, (we have raised about $600 of it). 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.
MAY 18TH YAMMI ARRIVED
YEAH ME DO UPDATE
The trainer of YEAH ME DO's dam, ROMANTICALLY, emailed me. What a small world we live in. He gave me all kinds of neat information about 'Yammi's' dam and her success as a race horse along with a generous donation towards Yammi's recovery. Joe even contacted Yammi's breeder who thought Yammi had died nearly 20 years ago after finding him a home when his racing career was over. 6-06-09 UPDATE After only a few days Yeah Me Do has gained weight and a ton of personality.
'Spots' as we like to call him here at RMR is a 6 year old beautiful gelding that was donated to us in May. He raced 11 times but he was too slow and didn't have any interest in being a racehorse. He is going to make a super hunt seat or dressage prospect with his elegant way of going and beautiful movements. He is also plenty calm enough for trails and would make a great horse for almost any level of rider. Spots loves his people time and learns things very quickly. He is a beautiful bay gelding standing about 15.3 hands with little white spots on his neck and chest, hence the name, 'Spots'.

We need your help. Since Gary West covered the story of Lights On Broadway in the Ft Worth Star Telegram we have been overwhelmed with requests to take retired racehorses into our program. I am looking for a few people who are dedicated to racehorse rescue to pledge to donate on a monthly basis or to volunteer their time to helping us care for the horses in our program.

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 50 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.
