Unwanted Thoroughbreds: A Challenge for Sellers
by: Deirdre Biles
November 02 2008, Article # 13008
Copyright Blood-Horse Publications. Reprinted with permission of copyright owner.
With the economy struggling and the buy-back/no bid rates at Thoroughbred auctions rising, the issue of unwanted horses is a growing concern. Antony Beck, president of Gainesway Farm in Lexington, decided to try to do something about it, by sponsoring an adoption service on the Web site of The Blood-Horse's sister publication, The Horse.
The site will allow Thoroughbred owners to list information about horses they are willing to give away free to good homes in the United States. Full Article
Visit the Kentucky Equine Humane Center for more details.Present - September 25, 2010
