Safely
Rehoming
the
Retired
Racehorse
When
a
horse
is
ready
to
be
retired
from
racing
and
sold,
finding
an
appropriate
buyer
sets
the
horse
up
for
success
and
stability
in
a
future
career.
Many
buyers
consider
off track
thoroughbreds
because
the
initial
purchase
prices
are
inexpensive;
and
for
some
trainers
or
ambitious
amateurs,
this
is
an
affordable
way
to
purchase
a
sufficiently
athletic
horse.
You
may
have
already
had success
placing
horses
with
individuals
like
these
However,
many
buyers
looking
for a
cheap
horse
do
not
have
the
skillset
or
financial
capacity
to
manage
a
retired
racehorse.
This
puts
the
horse
at
high
risk
of
future
injury,
being
underfed,
experiencing
other
forms
of
neglect,
or
seriously
harming
an
inexperienced
person
or
child. It
is
advisable
to
turn
down
an
offer
if
the
buyer
is
either
too
inexperienced
or
does
not
have
the
financial
means
to
own
a
horse. Avoiding
these
kinds
of
placements
is
good
for
both
the
welfare
of
the
horse
and
the
public
image
of
racing.
Attached
is
a
basic
application
that
can
be
used
as
a
tool
to
quickly
assess
whether
the
buyer
has
the
basic
understanding
of
what
restarting a
retired
racehorse
requires.
It
can
be
valuable
to
get
a
sense
of
whether
the
buyer
already
understands the
responsibilities
that
comes
with
letting
down
and
restarting
a
racing fit
horse.
The
questions
on
this
application
may
seem
excessive
and
likely
obvious,
but
they
serve
a
purpose
as
a
filter.
While
a
responsible
buyer
might
not
have
perfect
answers
to
every
question,
they
will likely
happily
give
satisfactory
answers
to
most
questions.
However, inexperienced
buyers
may struggle
to
answer
basic
questions
or
will
not
currently
be
connected
with
the
necessary
professionals,
such
as
a
trainer,
veterinarian,
or farrier.
While
there
is
no
process
that
can
guarantee a
perfect result,
these
questions
can
raise
red
flags
that
may
alert
the
seller
to
a
poor
match.
Feel
free
to
use
the
application
as
is,
modify
it
for
your
own
use,
or
simply
use
the
questions
as
guideposts
when
talking
with
buyers.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
and
effort
to
find
responsible
buyers
for
your
horses!
