From Finish Line to Second Career: The Journey of an Off-Track Thoroughbred

The roar of the crowd fades, and the hooves that moments ago thundered down the stretch settle into a steady rhythm on the walk back to the barn. But for a racehorse, crossing the finish line for the last time isn’t the end of their story — it can mark the beginning of something entirely new.
