Alternate Careers for Thoroughbreds
This is a free network for the trainers, breeders and owners of Thoroughbreds here in California to get in touch with the non-racing public and let them know which horses are in need of new careers, or simply as pasture pals.
In most cases photos will be attached to the listings, as well as the sellers name and a way to get in touch with them. Each listing on the following pages will list the stats about the horse (any injuries, personality traits, what city it is located in etc.) and the asking price.
This is a NON-PROFIT Organization, and ACT makes NO GUARANTEES TO THE CONDITION OF THE HORSES LISTED HEREIN AT ANY TIME.
Good luck, and open your heart to one of these fine animals. It may just be one of the best things you ever did.
Noelle Poulsen
Founder & Executive Director
One thing I have never lost
Is my love for any kind of horse.
I like all horses as I have said,
But the one I like best
Is a Thoroughbred.
Not because they have
Racing speed,
Or appear to be a more
Noble steed,
But because they have a heart
That will not quit,
They just keep on pulling
on the bit.
It makes no difference if
They are lame or thin,
That just doesn't keep a Thoroughbred
From trying to win.
They are an example of what
We should be,
The best part of them
You will never see.
It's a heart that's true,
Sticks to the end,
That's why I want
A Thoroughbred for a friend.
