TRRAC - Thoroughbred Retirement, Rehabilitation and Careers

TRRAC is a 501(c)3 non-profit program that facilitates safe retirement of horses from horse racing. We have a horse for everyone!

TRRAC - Thoroughbred Retirement, Rehabilitation, and Careers is a thoroughbred aftercare program dedicated to providing dignified retirement, safety, and adoption to thoroughbred racehorses once they are retired from their racing careers. TRRAC places retired thoroughbreds in new, approved homes while offering proper downtime, retirement, retraining, and if need be, rehabilitation. TRRAC horses ar

e evaluated for soundness, mentality, and suitability in new careers while being trained as well as shown in events such as paper chasing, fox hunting, hunters, dressage, eventing, jumpers, and pleasure riding. All horses who come through our program are fully evaluated and are up to date on their vaccinations, shoeing, dental floats, and nutrition plans. We re-start our horses with professional trainers, with many achieving careers in upper-level showing. All our horses are offered permanent sanctuary at Maui Meadow Farm at any time they need to return. TRRAC currently offers training solutions for owners, as well as volunteer, showing, and riding opportunities. All horses are available to meet and ride by appointment. Sign unseen options available Let us take care of all the paperwork and hassle. Know the horse you are receiving is represented honestly by a reputable re-homing organization.

A quiet moment with my son and “Goodbye” who was napping quietly. This gorgeous gelding has a ton of personality ❤️

Super Needy is a 2021 gelding sired by Super Ninety Nine (we just adopted Ace Nine Nine, sired by the same sire), out of a Montbook mare. This gorgeous gelding is on light downtime, we are working on his feet and having a shoe boil on his elbow evaluated. Super Needy isn’t really needy at all, he just loves people grooming him and interacting with both horse and human in the barn.

Meet Goodbye — the kind of gelding who walks up to say hello first and stands there soaking up every ear scratch like you’re already his person.

Goodbye is a 2022 gelding standing approximately 16 hands, dark, handsome, barefoot, and is enjoying a peaceful turnout with a small gelding herd. He is polite with mares, steady for the farrier, and quick to learn to stand on cross-ties. Retired sound, he’s a clean slate ready to write a new chapter with you.

On paper, he’s the real deal: by Maclean’s Music out of Margie Is Livid (by Temple City, a son of Dynaformer). That blend brings speed and balance up front with scope, bone, and stamina from the bottom line — the same Dynaformer influence sport folks love for eventing and dressage, with the rideable type that shines in the hunter ring. Dam Margie Is Livid showed graded black-type potential as a juvenile (placed in the Colleen S.), while Maclean’s Music is a proven sire of classy athletes; Temple City is a noted turf/stamina influence from the Dynaformer line.

In person, Goodbye is all brain and kindness — smart, personable, and tuned in to his people. He’s the type you can picture cantering a forward, rhythmic hunter line, schooling tidy lateral work in a dressage arena, or galloping between the flags as an event prospect. With downtime and turnout already under his belt, he’s well-positioned to start a thoughtful restart this fall.

If you’re looking for a talented partner with sport-friendly bloodlines and an “old soul” attitude, say hello to Goodbye.

Beautiful Foxy! A lot of people stepped up to offer her a home, but when we reached out, no one responded back. Foxy needs a home! This is a super nice mare who is friendly and eager to be your next partner. Can you help bring home Foxy today? Let’s find her a perfect home! Foxy is sound, appropriately 16.1 (we need to confirm but she’s BIG bodied), and has a super cool personality.

Please like and share to help spread Foxy over social media for her chance to find her forever person.

Update! - We received an awesome email today updating us on Sense A Giant, now lovingly called G ❤...

✨"Hi TRRAC!
Giant now known as G placed 1st this past weekend at Loch Moy starter trials in the BN division. He was absolutely AMAZING! We are planning our move up to novice this weekend at hunt club! He is absolutely the best gentleman in and out of the barn. Thank you so much for everything your organization does in providing these special horses with new homes doing new jobs."✨

We are so happy for and proud of this duo!

Good morning from our sanctuary resident, “Love Is Your Name”. Love is enjoying the cooler weather on this beautiful Monday! Hope everyone has a great week! Give Love a like and share to let him know how much you support OTTBs in aftercare ❤️

Just a quick update on our rescues Idle Spur and Quiet Echo- they are gaining weight 🥰 (drop a comment below if you see progress too!) I see both horses every day so sometimes it’s hard for me to tell. It has been two weeks since arrival and both horses have been happy and healthy so far in quarantine and eating well! They have been dewormed and are feeling much better.

The sad part about broker horses is the fact they are all thrown together. It’s chaotic and horses become injured very quickly, especially if they are older. I posted some photos of the head wounds that both horses suffered from the pens. They most likely hit their heads while being shipped from auction to the pens. Idle Spur is very head shy and we work slow around his head while he is healing.

This beautiful "Black Beauty" is seeking his forever home (companion only). Start Line has been a companion in our program for quite some time. Retired in 2021, this deserving warhorse with earnings of $240,914 and multiple stakes placed winnings is a wonderful babysitter for our younger horses.

Unfortunately, Start Line's stifles just won't make him a riding horse. Although we did start him a handful of times under saddle for a new career, he mentally has told us he just wants to be a lawn mower. He's a GOOD lawnmower! Start Line is a good boy for the vet, dentist, and farrier. He has no vices, is barefoot, an easy keeper, and loves to live out.

If you are interested in a beautiful companion horse, please connect with us! We would love for you to meet Start Line.

Our companions are backed by our promise of return should you be unable to care for them any longer. All horses are up-to-date on health maintenance, including farrier, dentistry, deworming, vaccines, and coggins. Our companions are accompanied by free, professional guidance and advice, as well as a staff member to help your companion meet your herd and transition into their new home.
