Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Accreditation and Grants
Organizations that are ultimately successful in obtaining TAA accreditation are then evaluated for the awarding of financial grants. Each year, all accredited organizations are individually evaluated by a committee to determine the ultimate grant award in light of various factors including the total number of accredited organizations seeking funding and available resources. PRIOR AWARDS ARE NO INDICATION OF POTENTIAL FUTURE AWARDS.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to accredit, inspect and award grants to approved aftercare organizations to retire, retrain and rehome Thoroughbreds using sustainable industry-wide funding.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Utilizing an extensive application and inspection process based on the TAA's Code of Standards, accreditation status is determined after a complete review of five areas: operations; education; horse health care management; facility standards and services; adoption policies and protocols.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Accreditation - through the accreditation process, the TAA in partnership with providers and supporters intends to offer consultation to aftercare organizations in their efforts to improve and to bring innovative practices to all providers.
Funding - The goal of the TAA is to create a sustainable funding mechanism derived from every touch point in a Thoroughbreds life including but not limited to breeding, sales, racing and other industry related fund sources.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since inception in 2012, the TAA has granted more than $20.7 million to accredited
aftercare organizations. Currently 81 aftercare organizations supporting approximately 170
facilities across North America have been granted accreditation.
The TAA seeks to expand its awareness and funding from the entire Thoroughbred industry to support Thoroughbred aftercare.
