EQUINE ENCORE PERFORMANCE AT CHARLES TOWN INC
Saving 1 thoroughbred at a time
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Thoroughbred racehorses have a relatively short racing career, and when they are finished racing they need to be rehomed and repurposed. Often the owners of these horses lack the resources and/or the information needed to secure an appropriate placement, and horses can end up in bad situations (neglect, slaughter, etc.).
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Facilitation in the repurposing, rehoming or retirement of race horses
An owner or trainer may contact our organization if they have a thoroughbred that has primarily raced at Charles Town Hollywood Casino & Race Track that is in need of placement. We will facilitate placing the thoroughbred that meets our guidelines along with the aid in finances to cover transport, health certificates, adoption fee and possibly veterinary care.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We want to work with horsemen at Charles Town Races to help find suitable homes and second careers for retired racehorses. We also want to reduce the number of horses that leave the track and end up being neglected or sold for slaughter.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We partner with recognized rescue and rehabilitation organizations to place as many horses as possible. We also have reached out to horsemen at the track to provide information and assistance. We pay for transportation, veterinary care, and placement fees for the horses we have placed.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We are supported financially by the horsemen in the form of a $10/start fee assessed at Charles Town Races, as well as by grants and private donations.
We have a dedicated and active Board of Directors which has made many valuable connections with farms, rescues, shippers, and veterinarians.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have placed over 330 horses since 2014. In addition, we have assisted financially in numerous neglect cases involving former Charles Town horses as well as with horses being rescued from going to slaughter.
In the coming year, we hope to expand our network of placement locations, increase our social media presence and our visibility at the track, and increase our private donations through PayPal and Amazon Smile.
