all in Aftercare

Knowing where to start when you are ready to buy a horse is very unnerving and can be a difficult process if you don’t have guidance from someone who is experienced in purchasing horses. Anna Krupka sought assistance from her trusted longtime trainer, who then reached out to Lynn Sullivan at Thoroughbred Athletes.

At Thoroughbred Placement Resources, we specialize in bringing out the best in each horse. We do not choose the horses that come here; instead, they are sent to us, usually sight unseen. We evaluate them, design a rehab and training program, re-evaluate as they develop, and when they’re ready we rehome them.

Susan Samascott found African Badge through a friend who originally considered him a potential candidate for a student within her training program. Unfortunately, the student was intimidated by African Badge’s substantial size and chose not to proceed with the adoption. Still impressed with the unraced handsome bay Thoroughbred as a riding prospect, the friend contacted Susan hoping that African Badge might be a good match for her instead.

Sometimes, when I walk onto the backstretch here at Century Mile and look around at “all the pretty Thoroughbreds,” I feel a bit like I’m Alice, trying to figure out how I landed in Wonderland.  How did I get here, from there?

Anna Stone wasn’t actively looking for a new horse, but upon seeing images of Stone Surprise on New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program’s social media feed, she found herself unable to resist. The presence of “Stone” in his name and the coincidence of Anna sharing the same last name piqued her curiosity.
