There are many horse rescues and adoption centers located throughout Pennsylvania and the whole United States. One such facility is called After The Races. They are located in Nottingham, Pennsylvania.
After the Races takes retired Thoroughbred race horses from Philadelphia Park. Before coming to the facility, each horse is vetted and evaluated. Then a rehabilitation plan is put in place that fits each individual horse. During rehabilitation, time is spent getting to know the horse, it's temperament and it's physical capabilites. This allows them to match the horses to the right individuals.

There are so many good horses out there that are in need of another job, a loving home and a human to call their own. Won't you please consider either adopting one or supporting the rescues by volunteering or donating. It is a worthy cause.
