Introduction
Aftercare of retired racehorses is one of the six pillars of the NTRA Safety & Integrity Alliance, along with Injury Reporting and Prevention; Safety Equipment and a Safer Racing Environment; Medication and Testing; Jockey Health and Safety; and, Wagering Security. The goal of the Alliance’s efforts for aftercare is to help institutionalize the fact that all industry participants share the responsibility of caring for horses when their careers are over.
