Coady

Edited Press Release

Forty-two Thoroughbred aftercare organizations have been awarded accreditation for 2022, including one that received accreditation for the first time, according to a press release from the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. The TAA, the only accrediting body in Thoroughbred aftercare, now has a network of 81 organizations with approximately 180 facilities in North America.

“Congratulations to the 42 organizations who earned their Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accreditation,” said TAA President Jeffrey Bloom. “Earning TAA accreditation is a true testament to an organization's dedication to providing the best care possible for our Thoroughbreds.

“TAA-accreditation proves to the racing industry that its Thoroughbreds are going to the best possible aftercare organizations in North America, and although this stamp of approval is reassuring, funding is still a concern to assist these groups and the thousands of retired racehorses in their care. We encourage everyone to support the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and its 81 accredited charities.”
