New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program announced that it has received a $75,000 donation from the Ohio Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association. The donation will help support aftercare efforts at the New Vocations facility in Medina, Ohio, which focuses on rehabbing, retraining and rehoming Thoroughbred racehorses retiring from racetracks in the state.
“Making sure our horses have a good home after retiring from racing is vital to the Ohio HBPA,” said Ohio HBPA Executive Director Dave Basler. “Continuing to support New Vocations is an easy decision given their 30-year track record of successfully retraining and rehoming our Ohio horses. ”
Added New Vocations' Thoroughbred Program Director Anna Ford: “We are so thankful for the continued generosity and support from the Ohio HBPA. Even in the face of rising boarding and horse care costs and a pandemic, which resulted in challenging times for everyone, the Ohio HBPA's support has helped us offer uninterrupted aftercare services to horses coming off the track and ready to find their next career.”
New Vocations was founded in 1992 in Laura, Ohio.
“We'll always have a special place in our hearts for the Ohio horsemen who helped us get our start,” Ford said. “We're honored that they still entrust us with their horses' transition to new lives and new careers.”
