Communication

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

FL TRAC is addressing the important work in responsibly transitioning retiring thoroughbred racehorses to their next chapter of their lives in South Florida. As the thoroughbred industry has continued to evolve so has the conversation of how to take care of our athletes once their racing careers have come to a close. Whether a horse is in 100% condition or less upon retirement, it is our obligation and duty to make sure they are respectfully tended to and responsibly transitioned and positioned for the most success in the second part of their lives.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

FL TRAC strives to provide retired racehorses both meaningful second careers and an excellent quality of life. We rehabilitate thoroughbreds by providing professional care and training for each as an individual. A rigorous screening process attempts to match each thoroughbred with loving adopters with the goal to provide a new opportunity and purpose for a second career in the show world, polo fields, therapeutic riding program or simply as a loving companion.

The main strategies are to identify each horses strengths and weaknesses and make sure we are doing our best to most accurately represent them to potential adopters who will provide amazing long-term homes for them. By doing this we can help ensure successful relationships. We focus on a strong social media presence and engagement with our supporters. Much of what we do is word of mouth, so it is imperative to strive to be the best and be industry leading in our approaches.

We are immensely capable and successful in the important work of Thoroughbred Aftercare. We have an unbelievably dedicated staff and volunteer base who tend to the needs of our large population which averages 10 retired thoroughbreds. Having the opportunity to be at a facility where we can house everyone at one location allows us to maintain maximum productivity and efficiency.

In the last almost 13 years we have successfully adopted hundreds of retired thoroughbreds with the last 5 years alone adopting well over 250 retired Thoroughbreds. We are looking to build on a solid financial foundation so we may work toward owning our location and ensuring the organization is in control of its own future. In addition, we continue to search for innovative ideas and better business practices to be as efficient in every aspect of our business from administration to horse care. As long as there is Thoroughbred horse racing there will always be a need for this important niche. We feel very lucky to be part of these amazing horses lives.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
