Our Mission

New Stride’s goals are to ensure that each and every noncompetitive and injured Thoroughbred racehorse gets a second chance and is placed into a caring adoptive home. We involve and educate our volunteers in the care, maintenance, handling and retraining of the horses. New Stride provides an alternative to auction for owners who find they can no longer care for their horses.

For more information on how New Stride helps retired Thoroughbreds and their owners, please read the story of Lucky, a 3 year old Thoroughbred belonging to one of our volunteers.

Think About Taking a Horse on a One-Month Trial

We have options available that allow you to try out your potential horse at your own facilities.

If one of our horses piques your interest, contact us to arrange a one-month trial period. It’s a good way to try out a horse before you buy; it gives you ample time to bond with the horse and determine whether he or she will suit your needs.

To see if you qualify for the trial, please call 604-856-1399.

Horse of the Month

Each month, New Stride highlights a different horse in our program.

hpim2474 March’s horse is Santana, a handsome 17hh, 8yo, chestnut gelding with a dynamic personality; he is a great mover.

To find out more about Santana, please visit our “Adopt a Horse” page.
