Ever wondered what happens to racehorses when they leave the track, or the horses that need a fresh start? These tour experiences set out to answer all of your questions about giving horses a new career. Some of these locations retrain, rehabilitate and rehome horses to become riding or companion horses, while others provide a sanctuary for those horses who would prefer to spend their time just grazing and greeting fans rather than being ridden!
Guests will learn about the care, feeding, training and rehabilitation of horses in search of a new career. The tours focus on a unique aspect of the industry in the Horse Capital of the World: aftercare and finding forever homes to our loving equines.
