The Ohio Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association has donated $50,000 to support the New Vocations Program's aftercare efforts at their Ohio facilities. In 2017, New Vocations took in over 450 retired racehorses, 64 of which came directly from an Ohio racetrack or farm.
“It is important to the Ohio HBPA that our retired Thoroughbreds be given a chance to thrive in a second career,” said Dave Basler, Ohio HBPA executive director. “We are proud to continue our partnership with New Vocations, an organization that began 26 years ago right here in Ohio to give our horses that chance New Vocations' adoption process is very thorough–it ensures that the horses will go to good homes. We know from the training they received that the horses leave the program well-prepared to begin their second careers.”
