After the Homestretch - Arizona Mission: After The Homestretch-Arizona was set up to provide rest, rehabilitation, and retraining in a new career for Arizona ex-racehorses with the goal of finding them loving, adoptive non-racing homes. Philosophy: Racehorses were bred to be fine athletes with a lot of heart and intelligence. These horses have proved to be very versatile by excelling in other disciplines such as dressage, jumping, pleasure riding, trail, and show competitions as well as becoming excellent companions. They just need a chance to find that second career and a new life after their racing careers have ended ... "after the homestretch." Glendale, Arizona |

A great deal of the American Standardbred Adoption Program's efforts center around educating young people about horsemanship and harness racing. Youth programs focus on youth at risk and youth with disabilities, offering ASAP's facilities on an ongoing basis for community service or schooling involving horsemanship and riding or driving. The American Standardbred Adoption Program seeks only the most qualified homes in the hopes of obtaining permanent placement for each horse in its care. A contract must be signed by potential adopters as a prerequisite to acquiring a horse through our program. An adoption fee is required. ASAP, Inc. is comprised entirely of volunteers that assist in every aspect of horse adoptions, from picking up a horse at the track or stabling facility at no cost to the donor, to office duties, to participation in exhibits, demonstrations, and rescue efforts nationwide DeSoto, Wisconsin |

Information about Our Programs- Traditional Rescue - Another Chance 4 Horses, Inc. has been a 501c(3) non profit charity since 2003. Prior to becoming a 501c(3) charity we were a private rescue for five years who paid for all expenses out of our own pocket. We are an all breed rescue organization. The horses in our care are available to be seen by appointment. Horses in our care http://www.ac4h.com/AC4Havailrescuehorses.htm . Directions - http://www.ac4h.com/VolunteerDirectory.htm When you save a life this way you actually save two the one you take with you and the one you make room for. This is a great way to help a horse that is quarantined, evaluated multiple times and you can come see them in person and interact with them. We hold appointments on Saturdays from 12 - 3 pm est please email us to schedule your visit. (info@ac4h.com) Broker Owned Program - The broker owned horses is an additional program that we created 9 years ago to help the many horses that we can't bring into our traditional rescue. Every 5 minutes an American horse is slaughtered. This program is an alternative to auctions and horse slaughter. We saw a need and created a way to help them offering them that assistance through our website and other media social sites and place about a thousand horses through this program annually. The broker horses are not in our care. http://www.ac4h.com/BrokerOwnedProgram.htm. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and the lack of assuring availability, we are not able to hold appointments to show them like we do the horses that are at our traditional rescues. The horses in the broker owned program are not quarantined, typically no past history unless is available or provided unless the horse has a tattoo we can trace or registration papers that allow volunteers/horse helpers to contact the owners in the horses past. We do independent evaluations of these horses this information along with any information gathered from research is provided on the website. Helping a horse through the broker program IS rescue. We highly suggest that you do your research to make sure this is something that are able to do. There is no protection for your emotional investment. However, there are insurance programs to cover your financial investment and we highly suggest that you consider and purchase insurance for your financial investment. Ownership Assistance Placement. We offer owners a way to place their horses by listing them on our high traffic website and international network. This is a preventative program to assist in keeping horses out of the auction/slaughter circuit. Assisting owners in placing their horses allows the owners to be involved in the process and provides less stress to the horse by moving from current home into the new home without taking the horse into the traditional rescue. We advise owners to use a written contract, check references and do a home check. We offer the use of our placement forms edited to remove our information replacing it with your own information. With this program we can always assist a horse in need without having to have an opening at the rescue for the horse and keeping openings for the most urgent needs. Information provided is from the owner, we cannot guarantee accuracy of the information. Bernville, Pennsylvania |

Our proactive programs include : Rehabilitation, training and re-homing for horses in need. Low cost clinics and outreach to prevent overpopulation neglect and suffering Education for horse owners and public agencies *80% of first time horse owners get rid of their horse within 5 years. *In just nine years (1997-05), The equine population in the United States has expanded33% from 6.9 million to 9.2 million horses while, the number of horse owners has risen from 1.9 million to 2.0 million, a modest increase of only about 5%. *Most neglect and abuse cases can be resolved through owner education. Educational programs using existing resources should be developed and accessible to all facets of society."— USDA Magalia, California |

Horses enter our program through donation by caring owners or by rescue from auction houses where their fate most often is the slaughterhouse. Each year, thousands of horses are sent to slaughter. In most cases, the owner unknowingly sends their beloved horse off to auction or gives them away because they do not realize they have other choices. Our organization is in place to make people aware they do have a choice and also to give horses a second chance at a long life in a new home and assures the owner that their beloved animal will be loved and cared for instead of facing the horrors of a slaughter house.

Our focus is the rescue and rehabilitation of equines void of a human advocate, abused, neglected, or abandoned. Our goal is to raise public awareness of equine neglect through regional youth education, legislation, horsemanship education, animal care awareness, and community service opportunities. We are working toward a standard of excellence to create a model which, when duplicated, will unite rescues nationwide to abolish mistreatment and disrespect of horses in this country. This rescue is very unique - our mission is to preserve equine integrity, but in doing so we also preserve human integrity. When a horse is rescued, we follow the progress through to the best possible recovery. Ultimately each horse will finds its forever home - BSER is not in the business of moving large numbers of horses. If a great home can be found for a horse we will make it available to a loving, caring family for adoption. If the horse stays at the rescue forever, that too is fine. At BSER each of our horses knows it is safe, sheltered, loved and cared for. Oakham, Massachusetts |

Horses that arrive at our rescue come from auctions and kill buyers; some are surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them, and some are seized by authorities. We try to help horses that are desperately in need of a safe place to go before they end up in the slaughter pipeline and are inhumanely trucked off across the borders to Canada or Mexico, where they are slaughtered for human consumption. Horses that end up at auctions often wind up in the hands of kill buyers. Sometimes we pay to get a horse out of a desperate situation, which shouldn't be the case. But sometimes time is of the essence in saving a horse's life. Once a horse is here, then come the costs of rehabilitation, training, proper feed, and care. Expenses include initial and follow-on vet exams, farrier work, vaccines, wormers, supplements, dental care, grain, feed, and other necessities, which are costly. Some horses with special needs will live out their days here. Please take time to look through our website to learn about us and our mission. There are stories here that will make you cry, and some will make you smile. Rescue work is a mental, physical, and financial rollercoaster ride; but the rewards are so great. Horses ask for so little but give so much--please help us to help them--we can't do what we do without support from others. We need assistance from caring individuals, groups, and businesses. No amount is too small--please give today to help the horses by visiting our Donate page. All donations are tax-deductible. Visitors are welcome -- but by appointment only. Closed on Sundays and Thursdays. If you would like to volunteer or to make an appointment, please call 352-258-9309. Morriston, Florida |

Begin Again Horse Rescue is located on a 10 acre farm in Lima, New York. It is entirely funded by donations from those who understand the plight of these horses and are willing to help. There is a nominal fee when a horse is placed from Begin Again. This fee helps to cover the initial veterinary care all our horses receive when they are accepted into the program. A donation is requested and greatly appreciated from those who relinquish one or more horses as well. It is from these donations that we can continue to help other horses in need. There is no membership fee. We rely on donations, fundraisers, grants, and sponsors to fund our operations. We look far and wide to animal lovers who want to help and do the right thing for horses that need our care. Our motto is: " One by one." Our Mission What We Stand For Lima, New York |

Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue depends upon the heart felt generosity of others to accomplish our goals. Not only do we depend on you – our horses do as well. Caring for a rescued horse requires substantial yearly costs. Many rescues require specific dietary needs, extensive hoof care treatments, X-rays of injuries, geldings and at the minimum a complete dose of yearly shots including West Nile and routine wormings. To meet these needs we accept both Cash donations and item donations consisting of hay, grain, or any supplies directed to Horse Care. All donations are tax deductible. Jones, Oklahoma |

Our organization is all volunteer, there are NO paid positions within the Rescue's staff. As a result, our resources go much farther then with many other charities, and after all, isn't that what folks like to see when they make a donation to an organization. Unlike some of the huge charities that see only 1% of donations make it to the 'boots-on-the-ground', BERI sees an astonishing 95+% of all donations go directly into the care and feeding of our horses. The mission has been a success so far, The Buckland, the original rescue farm in Nicholas County, has been joined by AllieMac Acres in Garrard County, to become home to Buckland South. Two locations, much greater access and flexibility in the day-to-day operations. Carlisle, Kentucky |

Funds for the rescue come from donations, adoptions, grants and fund raising events. Our need for funding assistance is acute, as rescuing a single healthy horse can easily exceed $900.00. An unhealthy horse can require up to $350.00 per month for medications and veterinary care. We are dedicated to improving the lives of the magnificent horses we rescue, as well as the families who adopt them. The exhaustive labor of our small group and ever expanding circle of volunteers is well rewarded by the knowledge that these horses are safe. Laurel, Delaware |

These volunteers realized that there was a need for Curly Horse Rescue, as Curly horses have been rescued by private individuals from those misinformed individuals who believed that Curlies did not require basic necessities like hoofcare and proper healthy feed, or those that thought the Curly coat was a defect or abomination and relegated them to the back lot. We also educate the public about proper horsekeeping, and the difference between a Curly horse and a horse with Cushings syndrome. Marshfield, Vermont |

Eagle Hill Equine Rescue In addition, we have a leased facility just one mile from EHER, which is over 30 acres, has a nine stall barn and will become our training facility in Spring 2010. We specialize in young horses, mostly under the age of 8, some arrive here as 4 or 5 day old orphaned foals, which we hand raise, to horses ready for saddle training up to the age of 8. We also have quite a few horses that will remain under 14.2 that would make outstanding 4H or Pony Club projects. We also feature seasoned riding horses, horses that are new to the saddle that need additional hours of training and quite a few potential eventers, hunters/jumpers and dressage prospects. In this category are registered Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, Thoroughbred/Draft Crosses (mainly Shire and Percheron) and Arabian/Thoroughbred Crosses. We are adding to our new riding horses thanks to Kelsi, a very talented trainer. These trained horses are being ridden regularly by our extensive number of experienced riders. We routinely have an average of about 90 horses and nurse mare foals up for adoption. Please check our listing to see if one is right for your family! Our horses and nurse mare foals are looking for "just the right everlasting home". Is yours the one they're hoping to find? They certainly hope so and Thank You for your consideration.

FalconRidge Equine Rescue Horses arrive to FalconRidge from all states in the country. New arrivals get the proper veterinary care, nutrition, chiropractic, training, or surgery they need to improve their lives. Those horses whose lives have been saved from euthanasia, slaughter or from extreme neglect, will stay here forever. Some healthy sound horses have been donated or given up for various reasons and will be rehabilitated, trained and adopted out. During rehabilitation, the horses are exercised and properly socialized with other horses and people. Some arrive extremely depressed, not wanting much to do with other horses or humans. Within months they have transformed into horses that play and interact happily. It is the mission of FalconRidge Equine Rescue, Inc. to improve equine physical, emotional and mental well-being so that their lives are enriched, and they have a positive, healthy future. |

Many horses come to GEVA due to injuries that require either surgery or an extended period of rest and because their owner is either unwilling or unable to assume the cost of that care. Frequently, an owner in such circumstances is faced with the choice of needlessly euthanizing the horse or, worse, selling it for slaughter. GEVA provides an alternative to this grim choice. When horses come to GEVA, they have a home for life or if extended rest is all that is needed. GEVA may offer that horse for adoption to a good home. An adopted horse from GEVA may return to GEVA at any time should the adoption not work. Glen Ellen, California |

The rescue invented and patented an internationally distributed horse treat called U-Bake Horse Treats. When the treats are sold, all proceeds go to the rescue. These treats are manufactured as part of the job site curriculum requirement by students at The Maplebrook School; a post secondary school for the learning disabled. Students may also fulfill their requirement by working a semester at the farm. We have had two students thus far. The rescue also works as a placement agency in the tri-state area for unwanted horses and has a Subsidized Horse Boarding Program for horses that need re-homing. We place an additional 4-6 horses annually this way. Amenia, New York |

We believe that all horses should have a second, third, maybe even fourth chance at a good life. Our horses come from a variety of backgrounds at all ages and stages of life. Our goal with each new horse we rescue is to give them the best and most complete care possible, the most love and attention they could ever need and help them find their new "calling" in life so that they may go on to new "career" with a new loving family.

During those times most local law enforcement agencies didn't touch large animals. Excuses of, "he's old, that's why he's skinny," and "I'm about to buy feed and hay," were generally accepted and neglected horses were left alone to starve. While we met with some resistance, most officers accepted us with open arms. All we required from them was to have an officer at the scene and have the same officer appear in court. We did the rest, from transportation, housing, feeding, medical workup, farrier work, court appearance and testimony to finding an adopter. Word circulated quickly and soon we had officers calling us, "just to take a look at some horses." From those first few months of becoming established and being professional in everything we did, the calls for assistance seemed to explode. The reputation of Habitat for Horses continued to grow as an organization that was more than willing to assist law enforcement not just in the legal aspects of enforcement, but in providing education to horse owners who wanted to keep their horses healthy but did not have the knowledge of equine husbandry necessary.

Children, seniors and everyone in between benefit from the interaction with animals. The physical aspect of the work involved, the mental focus of the task at hand, The sense of accomplishment, pride in overcoming apprehension of very large creatures, learning, sharing the joy, all are a part of volunteering and visiting with the animals.

Wisteria Farm is located on 5 acres in a mountain farming community. We have a main barn that allows us to have up to 10 rescues at a time along with a quarantine barn for newly arriving horses. We have private paddocks for sick horses and rent an additional 25 acres of pasture. At the moment we have two main auxiliary locations, one that house up to seven horses through the generous support and work of the property owner and in the summer we have another 10 acres available. This kind of flexibility has allowed us to create compatible herds of horses (we have a senior center and our herd of ridable horses) as well as paddocks in which we can separate sick or injured horses from the main herds. Our volunteer support and community support continues to grow as awareness of Horse Helpers increases. We are supporters of the local sustainable development community as well as links to Appalachian State University and Watauga High Schools Mountain Alliance. Zionville, North Carolina |

Illinois Equine Humane Center The ILEHC also seeks to educate the public and raise awareness for responsible equine ownership so that fewer horses end up in crisis. Our resources are focused on providing a very necessary service - helping owners place unwanted horses in new homes. Sometimes this will mean working with owners to identify appropriate outlets for their horses and sometimes this will mean accepting horses into our shelter before adopting them into new homes. Please note: Please call the Illinois Department of Agriculture Bureau of Animal Welfare at 217-782-6657 to report animal abuse or neglect. At this time, the ILEHC does not plan to investigate these types of complaints as the Department and several other non-profit organizations in Illinois perform this very necessary service. The ILEHC is a 501(c)(3) organization and as such, any and all suggested fees may be waived in whole or in oart for those eligible individuals as determined by the Board of Directors on a case by case basis.

Medicine Horse Program also uses mindfulness based techniques in equine-assisted psychotherapy. Using horses as co-facilitators, therapists help soldiers connect in relationship with each other and the horses. "The wild horses help me to open up. The more I open up, the more they connect with me. It spirals outward, and I start opening up more with people in my day to day life," said John, a Viet Nam vet. Most of the mustangs at Medicine Horse, caught recently on the range, are hypervigilent, with a strong flight instinct, and an aversion to being touched. "The symptoms are the same as PTSD," one veteran said, "When I got home from the war, I didn't want anyone to touch me. " As the horses learn to trust humans, the veterans see real results. In the process, they learn to trust the horses and begin to heal as well. An astonished veteran exclaimed at the progress of a mustang named Mama, "She is not the same horse we worked with a month ago. If Mama can heal so quickly, so can we. She gives us hope."

We work directly with professional horsemen, owners and breeders at racecourses and training centers across the United States and around the world to ensure that Thoroughbred horses no longer fit for competition on the racecourse are provided with first-rate care upon retiring from their racing careers. Each of our Thoroughbreds is stabled and rehabilitated at our own Watchtower Farm in Deerfield, New Hampshire. Since beginning our adoption program in 2008, we've taken in over eighty Thoroughbreds from Kentucky, Florida, New York, California, Pennsylvania, Canada, England, Ireland and Brazil. Our Thoroughbreds have begun new lives as dressage, hunter-jumper and eventing prospects, as trail horses, Pony Club and 4-H projects, as school horses and as beloved family pets and companion animals. Our re-homing program is unlike any other in New England. At Watchtower Farm, riders and trainers searching for new horses find a visit to our farm worthwhile because we have 20-25 Thoroughbreds available at any time. Many of our available horses can be viewed by clicking on the ‚"Available" link above. We invite you to call to set-up an appointment to meet our Thoroughbreds at your convenience. If you can't take one home, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support our program. Deerfield, New Hampshire |

We seek to turn their lives around with proper nutrition, veterinary care and training. Pony Up believes that it is not enough to rescue horses from starvation or slaughter. In order to ensure their safety in the future, we seek to give them the training they need to find excellent homes for the rest of their lives.

It all started with my Dad, really. I was a 13 year old troubled kid, already having the nightmares, I didn't trust anyone, especially adults and he introduced me to the world of horses. Dad had his own stable of horses — I mean alot of horses! His forte was problem horses. He'd even buy horses from the auctions and bring them home just to save them. That's how I got my first horse. He gave me three problem horses and said fix them or tell him why not and I could choose one of the three for my own. Horses saved my life. I can't even imagine how bad it could have been. I walked away from the world of abuse and stepped into the wonderful happy world of horses. That is the deep down reason why I started Sacred Grounds Rescue Ranch. I figure if I can save just one kid from those nightmares, then its all worth while. Wikieup, Arizona |

Saddlebred Rescue, Inc. SBR buys all horses in our program mostly from auctions and sales where they were slaughter bound. We have our own professional trainer who works with each horse to evaluate and design a schooling program to help the horse be as place-able as possible. All horses in our program are evaluated by two professional horse trainers before they are placed. Each horse's overall health condition is assessed by our staff, and veterinarian, if necessary, and immediately-needed health issues are treated. Chronic conditions are recorded as such. All SBR horses are in a lifetime program and will always have the option of being returned to SBR if the adopter's circumstances change. SBR encourages every potential adopter to visit our facility and try out any of our treasures that may be a potential match. While we encourage visits, we understand it is not always possible to visit us on-site. In these cases, our trainers work with you to understand your needs and to pick out a horse that is perfect for you. Our placement rate is very high and returns to SBR for incompatibility are almost nonexistent. Every day our professionals work to improve the care, training and placement of our treasures.

Saffyre Sanctuary Saffyre Sanctuary is a rescue and rehabilitation program that cares for horses that have been abandoned, abused, or neglected. We also give horses an opportunity for a second career or a well deserved retirement, due to soundness issues, age, or owner hardships. Saffyre Sanctuary assists homeless horses in finding their forever person. Through our networks, we place them in new careers in many disciplines. If they are unable to perform in a new career, we try to find loving homes where they can retire in peace and comfort or serve as companion equines. Although Saffyre Sanctuary is an all-breed rescue, we have a special place in our hearts to the plight and distinctive needs of the Arabian breed. We are one of very few rescue organizations that works with Arabians, and maintains a following of Arabian enthusiasts who are familiar with their unique disposition. If you are looking to add an Arabian to your home, please consider adopting or fostering one of our loving horses. Sylmar, California |

Sammie's Friends We accept donations to pay for medical care for the animals. Many times the animals have conditions which keeps them from being adopted, yet the condition is not considered an emergency because it is not life-threatening (i.e. demodectic mange, broken legs and hips, amputation of legs, respiratory infections, foxtails in the ear and nose, and many more conditions). If these medical issues are not cared for, no one will adopt them because of the condition they are in. Animals often come to the Shelter because they are strays and have been abandoned by people who should have cared for them. Many of these animals have medical problems. In 2008, Sammie's Friends paid for medical care for 444 animals and spent more than $122,000 for their care. In 2009, Sammie's Friends helped 619 animals by spending $143,000 for their medical care. With your continuing donations, we can help even more animals in the future. Grass Valley, California |

Save a Forgotten Equine Horse Rescue SAFE is deeply committed to its rescued horses. We have extensive experience in equine rehabilitation and have successfully brought many neglected horses back from the brink of starvation. Our rehabilitation efforts are supported by local veterinarian Dr Hannah Evergreen DVM's Northwest Equine Stewardship Center as well as Pilchuck Equine Hospital. All of our horses are provided with routine vet care, dental care, vaccinations, and farrier care. Once a horse has been successfully rehabilitated, we carefully evaluate them to discover their strengths and suitabilities, and we provide many of these horses with professional training to help ensure them a safe and productive future. While at SAFE, horses receive a lot of personal attention and handling. Our rideable horses are worked on a regular basis, with many being ridden in lessons under the supervision of a trainer. Once a horse is ready for a permanent home, SAFE undertakes a rigorous screening process to find the ideal placement. We carefully review applications, check references, and conduct site visits, with the goal of finding a long-term home that will benefit both horse and adopter. After a horse is placed into its forever home, annual follow-up visits are conducted to ensure the animal's continued well-being and SAFE will take a horse back if its adopter can‚Äôt continue to care for it. Despite our years of success helping horses in the local area, SAFE remains a small, modest organization that operates on a shoestring budget and works hard to make every penny count. We rely on public donations for 77% of our operating income, and our average donation amount is $15. The majority of the funds we raise are used to feed, house, care for and train our horses‚ essentially paying for everything possible to ensure them a safe and productive future. We have minimal management expenses, no fundraising budget, and only one paid employee. The heart of SAFE is our volunteers, from our Board of Directors to our weekend warriors out on the farm, an incredible group of people who believe in SAFE's mission and give the best of their talents and energy to make it succeed.

In 2007, volunteers moved in to the temporary office and storage facility which was set up to assist foster homes and the public, however, the need in the community grew quickly and the space was soon transformed to house the overflow of small animals ... mainly those ready for adoption. Simcoe, Ontario, Canada |

Society for Hooved Animal Rescue and Emergencies Not only does S.H.A.R.E. take in horses that are unwanted by their owners but it also takes in horses from abuse and neglect cases. We have several humane investigators that work with us to make sure that the horses in the area are being treated humanely. Once we receive a horse from a situation like that, rehabilitation is the first priority. The horses must be brought to a healthy weight and must learn to trust humans. This takes much time and effort on the founder and volunteers of S.H.A.R.E. but the reward is worth the work. If you are looking to volunteer in the community and make a difference, S.H.A.R.E. is always looking for hard working volunteers to help us feed and take care of the horses. Feeding is a big job and the more volunteers the merrier. We also need help grooming and socializing our horses once the feeding is done. Volunteering with our horses is a very rewarding experience and you could be part of it. If you are interested in either adopting horses, finding out more about S.H.A.R.E. or are interested in volunteering, just contact us and we will be happy to help. Champaign, Illinois |

Sound Equne Options Sound Equine Options (SEO) was founded in 2009 by an equine veterinarian seeking to address the plight of horses whose owners could not afford to provide them with basic care. In Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington, as in the rest of the country, the number of unwanted horses and horses not receiving basic care exceeds the resources available to accommodate them. Though there are currently no accurate figures on how many of these horses exist, our research and work with regional animal control officers tells us these numbers are on the rise. SEO utilizes a vast network of participants to strengthen the safety net for local horses; to provide them with a life of dignity, love, trust, and care. Our volunteers are passionate about the veterinary-based programs and the results they produce. Based on innovative practices, these programs address the need for temporary assistance and the unwanted horse issue on a national level while radically changing the lives of local horses.

History Although horseracing is a multi-billion dollar industry, the Standardbred racing industry has made no provisions to support these grand horses when their racing careers came to an end. Some horses end their careers at a young age due to injuries or lack of racing ability, but with the rest and rehabilitation provided by SRF, these lovely animals become wonderful riding, driving, eventing, trail horses, and participate in all disciplines of riding and driving. However, some retire from racing and are not healthy enough to be transitioned to a new career. As a result, the SRF steps in to provide the rescue services necessary to ensure that these noble horses are retired with the dignity and care they deserve with the intent of finding them permanent homes; many are never adopted due to physical condition or age and remain under the SRF's care at various boarding facilities.

TPR is run completely by volunteers using donations, no one draws a salary and all money donated goes directly to help Thoroughbreds. The main goal of Thoroughbred Placement and Rescue, Inc. is to improve the lives of Thoroughbred racehorses. We accomplish this through a multifaceted approach: TPR, Inc. is a resource for those who wish to learn how to place retiring Thoroughbred racehorses. We counsel, consult and teach others how to to successfully transition, retrain and find homes for them. We successfully transition and retrain racehorses into other disciplines; and teach these techniques and philosophies to others. Horses come to Leighton Farm to enjoy transitioning and training. Clark's training techniques are proactive, using the horse's previous experiences as a springboard to teach them to integrate into a new life off the track. We strive to improve the reputation of the Thoroughbred by providing correct information about this wonderful breed. Kimberly Clark, founder of TPR has written a book, ‚"New Track, New Life" to promote correct training principles through better understanding of ex-racers. It is currently being developed into a dvd series. A clinic series is being created to teach horsemen how to better understand and train retired Thoroughbred racehorses. Through placement, support, education and rescue, we strive to make a difference. Please visit our website www.goodhorse.org for more information, to donate or volunteer! Upper Marlboro , Maryland |
