We are overjoyed at the support we have received for the work we do to transition ex-racehorses into new careers. Thoroughbred racehorses are amazing animals and it’s through donations and fundraisers such as our online auction that give us the critical funds we need to keep the program going, said Allie Conrad executive director, CANTER Mid-Atlantic. We truly appreciate the many offers that have come in this year to help support our work. Because of that support this years auction is shaping up to be one of the best!
