Business Details
A rescuing hand for horses.
We are a non-profit organization. Our Approach Our efforts depend on a strong alliance between race tracks, industry officials, horsemen, owners, trainers, jockeys and fans. Each and every donation brings us closer to achieving our ultimate goal to see all our horses in successful second careers. Why do we need your help" Monthly expenses include basic care such as transportation, feed, veterinary care, supplies, retraining and board. Our Commitment In 2010, recognizing the need for a Thoroughbred retirement program with a focus on transitioning horses from South Florida racing to their second careers, a group of committed volunteers began a retirement and placement program. Largely supported by the Stronach Group, the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (FHBPA) and professional jockeys, the programs focus is finding adoptive "forever" homes for retired Thoroughbreds.The group has since evolved into Florida TRAC (Thoroughbred Retirement & Adoptive Care). Since its inception in 2010, over 400 horses have entered the program.
