40 Ex-Racehorses Adopted in December!

Thursday, January 03 2013 by Editor
At New Vocations we are constantly looking for ways we can help more horses. It’s an ongoing drive that is part of our team’s culture.  In order to take in more horses each year two things have to happen.  We have to raise more funds and we have to find more homes.

Take the Time to Find the Right Pasture Buddy for Your OTTB

Friday, November 09 2012 by Editor
Excerpt from Beyond the Track – Retraining the Thoroughbred from Racehorse to Riding Horse by Anna Ford (New Vocations’ Program Director) [Several] horses a year are returned to our program at New Vocations because they could not “get along” with the other horses they were turned out with, or vice versa.

Quick Tip: How To Help Your Horse Maintain Good Weight In Time For Winter

Tuesday, October 30 2012 by Editor
As the days are growing shorter and colder, it seems fall has crept up on us, so it is a good reminder to keep an eye on your horse’s weight as they start to expend more energy growing their winter coats.          Photo Courtesy of Audrey C. Crosby Photography At the beginning of September all of our horses seemed to drop weight quickly and had grown hair over night

Thursday, October 25 2012 by Editor
Written by Amy Allison (Ohio Thoroughbred Facility Manager/Trainer) A horse update came across my desk the other day that just made me smile as so many of them often do. It was of 2004 Thoroughbred gelding Native Tongue with show ribbons hanging from his bridle.

Chromospere – A Heart of Gold!

Tuesday, October 23 2012 by Editor
Meet “Chromospere” a 6 year old, 15.3 1/2hh Thoroughbred gelding now available for adoption from our Marysville, Ohio facility! Chrome is an absolutely adorable gelding that will just melt your heart with his personality and his story of how he came to be with us.  He is one of the unfortunate horses that were headed to auction and it took a village of people to rescue Chrome and 5 others from an undetermined fate.  From the initial person who made phone calls to help the horses, to another party who put up the money for him, the foster home who gave him some needed down time and groceries, and then to our facility, he has had a long journey.  Now is your chance to be the last stop in a long line of people trying to make a happy ending for this deserving horse. When watching his video you can see that he has a good, quiet work ethic.  When the rider is quiet and steady with light contact, he begins to match his rider and settles into a quiet and steady rhythm of his own at both the trot and canter.  The longer he works, the more relaxed he becomes and there will be more movement there once he is fit.  He grew up at the upper level tracks so he knows how to work. Chrome does well with light contact and naturally wants to give to the bit.

Why a Thoroughbred?

Tuesday, October 16 2012 by Editor
Although Thoroughbreds are bred primarily to run they also have many great characteristics that make them suitable for a variety of other disciplines.  Athleticism, intelligence, and heart are three traits that both racehorse and equestrian trainers look for in a horse.  The Thoroughbred in general is known to have all three.

Concorde’s Flight – Available for Adoption!

Wednesday, September 26 2012 by Editor
Meet our handsome 4 year old, 16hh Thoroughbred gelding “Concorde’s Flight” who is now available for adoption from the New Vocations Marysville, OH facility!     Concorde’s sire Trippi has stamped his son with a pretty head, smart eye, nice body and a sweet nature his offspring are known for. All of his offspring have also been easy to ride and handle and very quick to learn a new career.  Concorde is no exception to the rule. He is an uncomplicated horse to ride for an intermediate level rider and is very willing and obedient.  He is a light touch in the bridle and is actually a bit on the lazy side requiring leg to go forward

New Vocations A Team Effort

Tuesday, September 25 2012 by Editor
We are frequently asked “what is the secret to your adoption success?”  The answer to this question is not a short one.  There is a lot that goes into New Vocations successfully adopting out over 400 retired racehorses a year. The one major factor to our success that I would like to spotlight is the teamwork that goes on daily behind the scenes.  It is the passionate commitment by our team of underpaid and over worked employees and volunteers that keeps New Vocations going. New Vocations was started in 1992 by Dot Morgan when she set out to provide a safety net for horses retiring from the racetrack so they might find a home and therefore have a future.
