The woman who befriended Exceller in his years at the farm told a wrenching story of the horse's final moments as he was led to slaughter, when he heard the screams and caught wind of the smell of blood.
It was thus that Exceller became the poster-horse for a clamorous movement seeking to ban the slaughter of all horses for human consumption, and revelations on the death of Ferdinand have served to rekindle the passions of those seeking to end the slaughter of horses in America.
Exceller Farm, a 75-acre tract in upstate New York, was donated by Hettinger to the TRF in March of 2000, and so far it has been home to 176 rescued horses, many of them sore-legged old warriors from small racetracks in New England.

Summer Halo was Exceller Farm's first success story, recovering from a leg injury to begin a second career as an eventer.
It was her desire to avoid such an end for thoroughbreds that led Oren a few years ago to open Exceller in upstate New York, essentially a second-chance home for horses that may be rehabilitated and find a greater ultimate purpose than the cannery.
Part of Oren's idea in opening Exceller was to be able to keep track of every ownership change of the horses that pass through her farm, a kind of ongoing safety net for animals who might once have been fated to an ugly end.

A disturbing demise - The Washington Times: Sports(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Exceller was the only horse to defeat two Triple Crown champions — and he did it in one race, beating Seattle Slew and Affirmed in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup.
His Hall of Fame career ended with an inglorious epitaph: He was sent to a slaughterhouse in Sweden in 1997.
The death of Exceller already prompted some breeders to begin retirement programs.
We view Slew's penultimate start, the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont, as his most enduring memory., Remember this was in the days before the Breeders' Cup, and the Jockey Club at a mile and a half was the marquee event of the fall season.
Affirmed had ground the great Alydar into a narrow defeat in his Belmont, a virtual match race of future Hall of Famers, Exceller, a son of the legendary Vaguely Noble, had bested Europe's finest on grass and proven his versatility on the dirt in California.
Exceller's rider, Bill Shoemaker, later remarked that at that point he thought the race was over; it wasn't.
He was sold to stand in Germany beginning in 1993, as it was hoped that European breeding would nicely compliment the strong turf and distance aspects of his pedigree.
Six years later, after hearing the disturbing news of Exceller's untimely death in a Swedish slaughterhouse, the Hancocks bought Gato Del Sol back and immediately pensioned him.
When Exceller, a prime racer and a disappointing stud, ended up in a Swedish slaughterhouse, Arthur's wife, Staci, began to worry.
