NTRA adds their own aftercare program for racehorses!

Recently, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association has added a new addition to their safety and Integrity alliance Program. Titled the "aftercare program", through their main website, you can research several adoption programs, organizations, and common questions concerning the welfare of racing thoroughbreds and what future careers they could have. 



This is such an exciting step for the racing industry and the many racehorses who suffer after their racing careers are over.  Many months ago, I had written to Mike Ziegler, executive director of the NTRA Safety and Integrity alliance, concerning the aftercare of racing thoroughbreds and despite the somewhat generic response I received, maybe after all I might have given them an extra "push" to make this new addition to their program a reality.
