TRRAC - Thoroughbred Retirement, Rehabilitation, and Careers is a thoroughbred aftercare program dedicated to providing dignified retirement, safety, and adoption to thoroughbred racehorses once they are retired from their racing careers. TRRAC places retired thoroughbreds in new, approved homes while offering proper downtime, retirement, retraining, and if need be, rehabilitation. TRRAC horses ar

e evaluated for soundness, mentality, and suitability in new careers while being trained as well as shown in events such as paper chasing, fox hunting, hunters, dressage, eventing, jumpers, and pleasure riding. All horses who come through our program are fully evaluated and are up to date on their vaccinations, shoeing, dental floats, and nutrition plans. We re-start our horses with professional trainers, with many achieving careers in upper-level showing. All our horses are offered permanent sanctuary at Maui Meadow Farm at any time they need to return. TRRAC currently offers training solutions for owners, as well as volunteer, showing, and riding opportunities. All horses are available to meet and ride by appointment. Sign unseen options available Let us take care of all the paperwork and hassle. Know the horse you are receiving is represented honestly by a reputable re-homing organization.

Idle Spur found himself in trouble in August 2025 when he ended up at a dealer lot on the auction circuit. With generous donations and volunteers, Idle Spur made it out to safety and to a TRRAC facility where he was able to quarantine and receive care. The gelding was thin and had a severe head injury. He eventually gained weight, spirit and his wounds healed with our care. Here he is today, thriving with his adopter and receiving the best of care, forever safe ❤️

With your help and donations, you changed this gelding’s life for the better forever.

Super Needy is a 2021, 16h bay Thoroughbred gelding by Super Ninety Nine out of a Montbrook mare, and he is not actually needy – he just adores people, grooming time, and hanging out with both horses and humans in the barn. He eats his breakfast, demolishes his lunch hay, and then crashes for his daily nap like it’s his full-time job. RRP 2026 eligible (and eligible for our $1,000 incentive!) and currently available through TRRAC, he’s the perfect prospect for someone who wants a soft-eyed, people-oriented partner to bring along.

More photos and video to come.

Merry Princess had two for the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover, "Ventriliquism" and his half-brother, Prized Merry. Both competing in years, back to back. TRRAC Grads perform well at the Thoroughbred Makeover, so why don't you find your next Makeover horse with us?

We're celebrating the 10-year anniversary this year of the Thoroughbred Makeover moving to its current format and location at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, the heart of the North American Thoroughbred industry! Join us this year as we share statistics and facts about the event and its decade of impact on Thoroughbred aftercare. The Makeover is the banner event of the Retired Racehorse Project, a 501c3 organization dedicated to increasing demand for Thoroughbreds beyond racing, and is meant to inspire more equestrians to get involved with the breed.

With the sheer number of offspring sired by Thoroughbred stallions each year, it's unsurprising to see certain names pop up again and again as the sires of Makeover-registered horses -- but when we see multiple offspring by certain dams, that certainly draws some attention. Did you know that in 10 years of the Thoroughbred Makeover, we've seen FIVE mares produce THREE Makeover-bound offspring?

🐴 Ashley's Folly (Ashley's Big Guy in 2019, Ashleyluvssugar in 2021, and Ashley's Valentine in 2022)
🐴 Livermore Valley (Candy Space Center in 2018, Our Twist of Fate in 2018, and Greenwood Drive in 2023)
🐴 Mariastheboss (Maria Rose in 2022, Spots Appeal in 2022, and Pretty Heart in 2023) -- AND Mariastheboss competed herself in 2023 in the Former Broodmare division!
🐴 Merry Princess (Maximus Meridius in 2018, Ventriloquism in 2022, and Prized Merry in 2023)
🐴 Rose of Lee (Sergio's Rose in 2016, One Last Rose in 2017, and Serious Stuff in 2017)

Revealed: Indybound
Retired in February 2024 by the Ron Dandy barn, Indybound made a responsible handoff into aftercare through TRRAC—and he’s already showing his quality under saddle. A Maryland-bred chestnut by Kobe’s Back out of Lady Artemis (Awesome Again), Indybound brought plenty to the track first: 14 starts, 1–1–3, $50,710, including a Laurel Park maiden win with additional placings at Pimlico, Parx, and Delaware. Thoughtful connections made this next chapter possible, and we’re proud to follow his second-career journey.

Thank you for the care of this amazing animal:
Breeder: Barak Farm • Last trainer: Ronald J. Dandy • Last owner: Edwin J. Schatzel • Last jockey: Luis R. Rivera, Jr. - and TRRAC thru TFH
