Ray of Light was established to provide a place where animals and people can form healthy connections in a safe environment. In addition, we aspire to be a healing presence in a wounded world. We are a non-profit animal rescue and animal-assisted therapy center and our organization operates programs involving horses that benefit the public and/or serve individuals with special needs, including but not limited to equine assisted activities and therapies. Our organization operates programs involved with horse rescue, foster care, rehabilitation, adoption and/or retirement, as well as community outreach and enrichment.

We are dedicated to transitioning retired racehorses into second careers and placing them in the right home. We are based in Central Indiana and have facilities in both Indiana and Ohio. Established in 2005, FFI took its name from famed racehorse Ferdinand who earned four million dollars on the track and won the KY Derby, but was ultimately led to slaughter. Our mission is very clear - To promote equine welfare by providing chances for second careers to retiring racehorses in Indiana, Ohio and throughout the Midwest. We believe that it is a shame that retired racehorses who are sound, have the potential to be sound, have good minds and have options for a second career should face an uncertain future.

Through hands-on experience in a safe and peaceful environment, rescued horses and children facing conflicts or challenges come together to help each other learn to love and trust again.
