I've done some pro bono PR work for CANTER New England and also adopted a horse from them three years ago. Freedom on the Wind was one one of the lucky ones. His owners donated him to CANTER when his racing career was over so that he could thrive in a new career.

At least there is some hope for race track retirees. You think the owners might consider doing even more to help the horses that won them a lot of money though. At least pay for their medical and boarding expenses until a good home could be found for them.

I have had seven of the CANTER MA horses come to me for retraining where they get at least two months of basic training where they learn to w/t/c, jump small courses, trail rides and go out and about to some local shows.
