A STATEMENT FROM NEW STRIDE THOROUGHBRED ADOPTION SOCIETY
Horseracing in BC and COVID-19 | Retiring your horse? We’re here to help.
New Stride Thoroughbred Adoption Society is fully aware of the current uncertainty facing British Columbia’s horseracing community, and we want you to know that we are here to help in any way that we are feasibly able. While we all know that every horse owner has a duty of care for their horse, we also understand that in times of extremes, some horses may fall through the cracks. These are the horses we collectively need to be aware of and do everything within our power to help.
As always, we encourage owners and trainers to independently seek out placement in a good home.
While New Stride is not a horse rescue society and remains very much committed to the long-term repurposing and adoption of Thoroughbred racehorses, we will discuss the needs of any owners or trainers who may find themselves in some doubt as to their ability to continue to take care of their horses. Even if we are not able to place your horse directly, we can offer assistance to Thoroughbred owners outside the racing community in the form of information, advice and free advertising of horses for sale on our website.
We cannot emphasize enough that it is the sacred responsibility of every horse owner to care for the welfare of the horses they own, regardless of
whether racing continues or not. However, if you have a horse, or know of a horse who you believe may need our help in the current circumstances, please contact us via email at info@newstride.com or via our website, http://www.newstride.com/contact.html Please be aware that New Stride is run almost exclusively by volunteers with a modest budget that may limit our capacity.
If you are able and compelled to take action during these difficult times, please know that 100% of your gift to New Stride goes directly to the horses’ needs. We are grateful.
