Officials at the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance have announced that 34 Thoroughbred aftercare operations have been given TAA accreditation with immediate effect. The list includes 27 that were re-accredited and seven that have received accreditation for the first time.
TAA-accredited organizations undergo a thorough application and inspection process prior to accreditation being awarded to ensure they meet the TAA's Code of Standards, which covers five key areas: operations, education, horse health care management, facility standards and services, and adoption policies and protocols.

Ongoing updates and re-inspections are required of all organizations as a condition of TAA accreditation.
