SAFETY FOR ALL THOROUGHBRED HORSES

TRRAC is a 501(c)3 non-profit aftercare and rehabilitation program and we take in roughly around 80 or more thoroughbred horses per year. We work with multiple race track aftercare programs including Turning For Home (Parx Racing), Second Call (Monmouth Park), New Start (Penn National), Aftercare Charles Town (Charles Town), and Beyond The Wire. TRRAC also accepts horses from individual and private owners/trainers as well as thoroughbreds who are owned by individuals and have already been restarted in second careers. The program is situated on 65 acres at Maui Meadow Farm, Pennsylvania's oldest working thoroughbred farm since 1946.

Our Mission

Dignified Retirement, Safety, Rehabilitation and Successful Adoption TRRAC is dedicated to the dignified retirement of thoroughbred racehorses. Our mission is to offer rehabilitation and safe sanctuary where we can offer nutrition, medical care, and eventually placement of into safe homes with approved adopters when the time is right. Our team is dedicated to keeping each horse safe from abuse, and neglect and out of the slaughter pipeline and kill pens while offering owners and trainers an option to retire their racehorses where they will be cared for without the threat of auction or slaughter. We also offer permanent sanctuary for elderly and special needs horses. Often, these residents require more upkeep and medications than normal. We provide specialized medical treatments, shoeing, nutritional care, and professional training to ensure every horse is safe, happy, and cared for. ? While a majority of our horses are retired directly from their racing careers, we accept owner enrollments for any thoroughbred and offer sanctuary for forgotten and abandoned horses suffering from abuse and neglect. Our program is run with public assistance of donations and volunteers as well as aftercare support from race tracks (if that horse is able to be supported through their track's program). Our horses are fully evaluated for soundness, suitability for a second career, and disposition, which includes riding assessments and professional training under saddle. We also house horses in need of rehabilitative treatment such as surgery and offer them rest and a safe sanctuary. Any horse who has been placed through our program has permanent sanctuary and will be accepted back no questions asked during any point in the horse's lifetime should the adopter or owner be unable to care for them anymore. We pride ourselves on providing a safety net for all our horses, with adopters required to give monthly updates complete with color side shots of their adopted horse as well as yearly veterinarian forms to show the horse is being properly cared for.
