INCEPTION OF THE TASK FORCE AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 2005 Inception: In 2005, the New York State Legislature passed a measure establishing a Task Force on the utilization of retired racehorses for productive and beneficial purposes. On July 26 of that year, the act was signed into Chapter 342 of the Laws of 2005. Specifically, the law called for the Task Force to consist of 13 members: The Chairperson of the state’s Racing and Wagering Board The Commissioner of the state’s Department of Agriculture and Markets Five appointments by the Governor Two appointees of the Temporary President of the state Senate Two appointees of the Speaker of the State Assembly One appointee by the Minority leader of the state Senate One appointee by the minority leader of the state Assembly The Executive and Legislative appointees of the Task Force were required to be representative of: Owners and breeders of Standardbred and Thoroughbred horses Persons with expertise in training horses for uses other than racing, such as riding schools, steeplechase competitions, show horse competitions and other recreational uses Persons with experience in the potential farm or other rural economic business applications for horse Persons familiar with the use of horses for recreational or therapeutic uses. The mission of the Task Force, as detailed in Chapter 342 of the Laws of 2005 is to “identify productive, although not necessarily profitable, and beneficial, to both horse and human, uses for retired racehorses and to increase the number of retired racehorses made available for such uses and so used. In furtherance of this mission, the term “retired racehorses” shall be broadly construed to include those horses that were actually used in racing and those that were bred and intended to be used but were not so used. Moreover, the Task Force shall develop and indentify new and innovative ideas and methods that can utilize private and public funding sources to place retired racehorses in such productive and beneficial uses, and to increase both the number of horses so used and the scale of variety of such uses.” The law calls for the Task Force to investigate and research the feasibility of promoting the use of retired racehorses in such activities as, but not limited to: The therapeutic use of horses in the medical, psychological, or rehabilitative care or treatment of patients The expansion of the use of horses at federal, state and local correctional facilities and youth detention facilities to train the inmates thereof for careers, after their release, in the racing industry, in the care of horses for recreational purposes, or as large animal veterinary assistants or technicians Facilitating the retraining and financing of the retraining of retired racehorses to be used for other purposes Other potential uses for retired racehorses
