NTRA Launches After Care Website

In the ongoing effort to safely retire thoroughbreds from the racetrack, the NTRA's Safety and Integrity Alliance unveiled a new web site last week dedicated to aftercare for retired thoroughbreds.

The web site contains listings of organizations that re-home thoroughbreds and also contains links for these organizations to funding sources and best care practices. There is also a video library of after-care organizations funded by the Alliance.

The site is a work in progress and after-care organizations are invited to sign up to be listed. It is part of the ongoing effort by the NTRA to save thoroughbreds from ending up in the hands of those who may sell them for slaughter.

The site can be found here.
