Retraining former racehorses as functioning members of new disciplines to help find them future, forever homes where they will prosper.
Racehorses know what it means to do well. After retiring, these horses deserve the opportunity to do more.
At least 3,000 thoroughbred racehorses stop racing every year. Two out of three of these racehorses will be abandoned, euthanized, or even put down inhumanly(1). Once a thoroughbred is deemed un-raceable he becomes a money pit for the owners which can lead to a very stressful situation. There are many individuals and facilities willing to give these animals a new home but decide against it because of a racehorses’ notoriety for high energy levels and difficulty in re-training. Win Place Home is here to help those horses make the transition from track to off-the-track.
The truth is, any ex-racehorse can go on to have a productive career in a variety of other disciplines. We appreciate you visiting our site to learn more about how you can help us allow these special horses a great future.
