Retired Racehorses

While a number of equine retraining and re-homing organizations are mentioned
frequently in this report, they represent only a fraction of the more than 1,000 organizations
identified by the Alliance as providing adoption and retraining for horses. A complete listing of
equine retirement/retraining facilities will be available on NTRAAlliance.org in summer 2011.
Organizations cited here generally specialize in the retraining and re-homing of
Thoroughbred racehorses. However, trade associations for other racing breeds, such as
Standardbreds and Quarter Horses, also facilitate aftercare programs and services. Programs
serving non-Thoroughbred racehorses are outside the scope of this document.
See Addendum A for a list of organizations cited and racing terminology.
