Mission: The Mission of Thoroughbred Athletes, Inc. is to rescue, rehabilitate, retrain, and re-home off track thoroughbred horses; and afford community youth the opportunity to experience the process. Promoting growth and learning in both horses and youth; instill a solid work ethic, with emphasis on teamwork, responsibility, confidence, and service to others, providing the horses with a solid training foundation for a second career, and youth with lifelong skills. We are the first and only all Thoroughbred retraining program in the state. Our mission began in an effort to help retired racehorses find new careers and prevent them from situations that may lead to neglect, starvation or slaughter while engaging our community youth in the world of horses. It is our goal to rehabilitate, retrain and re-home off-track Thoroughbreds. By teaching our horses a new skill set, we are able to provide them with a future after their work on the track is complete.
Results: We have been extremely fortunate to have been able to assist with over 300 adoptions since our inception. As we gain recognition, we increase our adoption rate. We currently have been able to adopt approximately 3 horses per month, which is phenomenal!
