New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program Founded in 1992Offering retiring racehorses a safe-haven, rehabilitation, and continued education through placement in experienced, caring homes.
Most of the horses arriving at New Vocations are injured and thin, suffering the normal occupational hazards of racing. Without a useful skill to offer their previous option was often a one-way ticket to the local livestock auction. New Vocations provides a safety-net for these horses matching them with qualified individuals and following up on their rehabilitation and vocational training to insure a successful transition. Additionally, the Program acts as an outreach to girls from the West Central Ohio Juvenile Center challenging them through motivational teachings and the equine experience to set worthy goals.
