New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program was recently selected as a Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) Award of Merit recipient.

New Vocations was nominated by the Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association. Dave Basler, executive director of the Ohio Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, presented the award at the breeders’ association awards dinner held at the historic Darby Dan Farm in Galloway, Ohio.

New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program was founded in 1992 to offer retiring racehorses a safe-haven, rehabilitation, and continued education through placement in experienced homes. More than 6,000 retired Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds have been placed in qualified homes through New Vocations’ efforts.

Award of Merit nominees consist of individuals or organizations working to provide a better life for Thoroughbreds or the people working with them, either on the backstretch or on the farm. Both achievements are reflective of TCA’s mission to help Thoroughbreds and the people who care for them. Subsequent award of merit winners will be announced monthly
