Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: A Second Chance at a Heart Horse With Rebound

For Michele Enck, finding another heart horse was something she never expected to happen again. Enck is Maryland-based and currently works for The Maryland Jockey Club as the stakes coordinator, recently promoted from her role as horse identifier.

A few years ago, while working in her office at Pimlico, Jessica Hammond stopped by Enck’s window. Hammond serves as executive director for Beyond the Wire, a program designed to facilitate safe and enriching placements for retired Maryland-based racehorses.
