The New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program has released details in regard to its 19th annual stallion auction, which will take place online this coming February.
The auction will take place on ongait.com from February 7-10, 2017.
New Vocations annually offers hundreds of former racehorses a safety net through rehabilitation, retraining, and placement in carefully screened and monitored homes.
New Vocations embraces racing and the excitement and joy of racehorse ownership. At the conclusion of a horse’s racing career, New Vocations stands ready to assist with its aftercare needs.
“We rehabilitate the horses as needed, break them to ride and care for them until a qualified adopter can be found,” said executive director Dot Morgan. “Then we educate the adopters on the idiosyncrasies of racehorses, answer myriads of questions, encourage them through problems and offer training guidelines. And we will always take our horses back.
“The stallion auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. If you have a breeding that’s not going to be used, please consider donating it. Or if you know someone that’s not using theirs, tell them about our need. Generating dollars is the ultimate goal, so if you don’t have a breeding, think about a year end contribution.”
New Vocations is a 501 (c) 3 charity so donations are tax-deductible to the extent of the law. For more information, email [email protected] or call 937-947-4020.
Donations can be made through the New Vocations website (newvocations.org) or mailed to New Vocations 3293 Wright Rd. Laura, OH 45337.
