Meet Mickey’sinthehouse!! This beautiful girl, “Mouse” as the women are calling her, came to JRHF through a partnership with Aftercare Charles Town. Mouse will be with us for a period of time to rest and rehab from life as a racehorse before moving on for retraining and adoption. We are so excited for this opportunity to add to the education the women receive and to give Mouse a loving start to life after the racetrack.
