All proceeds directly support LOPE Texas, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to providing new careers for retiring ex-racehorses of all breeds in Texas. It does this through its popular website (www.lopetx.org) and a ranch adoption and rehabilitation center near Austin, Texas. Since 2003, LOPE has helped over 585 Texas ex-racehorses transition into new homes after their racing careers ended.
