Racehorse Rehab And Retraining

When a racehorse reaches the end of his useful life, his fate can be uncertain. Many are euthanized and some are auctioned. But some find happy second homes as pleasure horses.

We're about to embark on that third option. Visit our racehorse rescue blog to follow our progress as we head to Belmont Park in New York to pick up a racehorse in need of a new home.

Bayrod, a three-year-old gelding, has earned a whopping $400 during his career. He was not setting the horse racing world on fire. But most racehorses, no matter how slow, are athletic and trainable. With care and patience, most can be trained to participate in dressage, eventing, jumping and trail riding.

Acclimating and training a retired racehorse takes patience and knowledge. Get off on the right hoof!

Meet Bayrod, an ex-racehorse from Belmont Park, NY.
