Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Rehabilitating retired racehorses. We give them the time they need to heal and bring them back into training gradually to make sure they are fit and healthy.
Retraining retired racehorses. We want them to be looked at more desirably by the public. In order for that to happen, we are giving them some new fundamentals to prosper in a new discipline.
Adopting out the horses. We find good homes for these horses, with people who know about the new discipline we've trained them in. So they can continue their training and learning in their new home and give them every reason to be successful.
We help educate the community of a different option and a humane way to retire racehorses.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Rehabilitating retired racehorses: Working with our vet to create a plan if the horse needs rehabbing.
Retraining retired racehorses: Working with what the horse enjoys doing and is capable of doing, creating that spark of joy and good work ethic so they are excited about coming out every day.
Adopting out the horses: Interviewing and carefully screening potential adopters to make sure that these homes are exactly what is needed to make the horse happy.
Reaching out: Through events and social media, trying to get to as many people as possible.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Rehabilitating retired racehorses: Our vet works at the racetrack so is very familiar with any injury due to racing. Our trainer worked at the track for 10 years, 4 of those years as a vet tech/assistant.
Retraining retired racehorses: Our trainer has been working with horses since 1996 in many different disciplines and was on the track for 10 years, 6 of those years as an assistant trainer.
Adopting out the horses: We have a carefully crafted adoption application that is reviewed by our board of directors. We also ask the potential adopter to come out at least twice if they can to meet and ride the horse.
Reaching out: We hold fundraisers throughout the year as well as participate in Aftercare Awareness Days, Thoroughbred horse shows, and other charity events.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have successfully adopted out 38 horses and currently have 15 horses in our program.
