Development and History of Transitions Thoroughbreds
Transitions Thoroughbreds was established in 2007 as an aftercare/re-training program for off track thoroughbreds - horses looking to move into new homes once their racing career had ended or horses that were not going to be competitive as a racehorse.
Our Mission
To provide an opportunity for as many thoroughbreds as possible to have a chance at a second career once retired from racing and/or be allowed to retire with dignity and be protected for the remainder of their lives. As well as having our own thoroughbred aftercare program, we have also worked extensively over the years at identifying thousands of 'at risk' thoroughbreds both in Canada and the U.S. and helped network these horses to safety. We have also been able to establish relationships that have offered us the ability to acquire numerous thoroughbreds that were intended to directly disappear to slaughter. Our philosophy is that every thoroughbred matters, none should ever be faced with anything less than a dignified and well deserved retirement once their careers in the racing industry have come to an end.
General Information
This program has been developed to provide off track thoroughbreds an opportunity to transition from race horse to riding horse. All horses sold and/or adopted out of this program will be sold and/or adopted out with a contract that will follow and protect them for life. This contract can be viewed by clicking on the side tab labelled Contract/Purchase/Adoption Agreement.
Donations to the program are always very much appreciated and have become necessary in order to continue to offer as many horses as possible a place to go and an opportunity for a new career. For more information on how to donate towards our program, please see the side tab titled General Sponsorship/Donations.
Please also visit our Gifts/Items for Sale page on this site as we often have a variety of items available. The proceeds of the sale of any of these items goes towards helping offset costs of the horses in our program.
Thank you for considering support of these amazing athletes as they transition into new careers and wonderful new homes or enjoy their retirement with us!!
