Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program (FLTAP) was recently advised by the Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) that it would be receiving a 2022 grant in support of FLTAP's work to transition equine athletes to a productive and fulfilling life after their time competing on the track. The TCA Board of Directors determined the grant request upheld the mission of the TCA, which is to fund and facilitate the support of Thoroughbreds and the people who care for them. As part of the evaluation process, FLTAP received a designation from Irish Hill and Dutchess Views Stallions, and a portion of the grant is made possible by the Race to Give. The Race to Give is an online giving and awareness campaign designed to raise money for Thoroughbred aftercare programs and initiatives, created by the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute.
The grant marks the 11th time that the TCA has recognized FLTAP since its inception.
“We are honored and appreciative of the TCA's continued support of our commitment to give Thoroughbreds a second chance at a productive career after their racing days,” stated FLTAP Board President Kim DeLong. “These funds will support our daily operations that support the health and well-being of Thoroughbreds currently in our care while we transition them to their next home.”
