Enter the Adoption Program
Owners and trainers may approach New Stride with horses they wish to place in the program. Horses are assessed by an Intake Committee for suitability and presented to the Board of Directors for consideration and acceptance into the program or onto a wait list. Horses are reviewed and considered on a first-come-first-served basis.

Enter the Owner-Supported Adoption Program
New Stride created its Owner-Supported Program as a way of further assisting the Thoroughbred industry.
Owners whose horses are unable to enter the regular adoption stream may arrange to place their horses in New Stride’s care and pay the horse’s expenses until the horse is adopted. Owners maintain ownership of the horses for the entire period they are with New Stride.
Owners will benefit from New Stride's expertise in retraining and adopting Thoroughbreds. Potential adopters will be screened in the same fashion as the horses in the regular adoption program. Successful adopters will sign an adoption contract and will be subject to follow-ups for a one-year period.
This option is great for Thoroughbred owners who want to ensure their horse goes to a good home but don't have the time to do it themselves.
