Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: Tack Wise on the Rise

A few months after the 2022 Hillsdale County Fair in Hillsdale, Mich., Riley Clark began her search for a new horse. Her previous CANTER Michigan adoptee, Grander Plan (now known as Prince), had been a great fit, but Riley was looking for a younger Thoroughbred to retrain so she could eventually retire her competition mare. She also wanted to free up Prince to be primarily her dad’s horse.

Riley started her search at CANTER Michigan, where several horses caught her eye. However, it was a young mare named Tack Wise who truly captured her heart.
