Pat Cummings has graciously responded to our Open Letter. We are grateful he and Mike Repole are listening. Thank you! Thank you! This gives me hope that change may actually be in our future.

After months of research and stakeholder engagement for Mike Repole's National Thoroughbred Alliance initiative, I read the Aug. 26 open letter, “When Does a Thoroughbred Earn a Safe Retirement” with interest and, assuredly, shared frustration.

Canadian Carla (LA)

Sire: Custom for Carlos
Dam: Canada's Vision
Career starts: 6 1/0/0
Career earnings: $9,900

This beautiful 3-year-old filly is a hair under 16 hands but will probably finish out at about 16.1 or so as she has more growing to do. This girl is as sweet as they come and couldn't be easier to handle (truly). We believe she may be part labrador as she would sit in your lap if she could. Very little bothers her. She has a wonderful mind and is kind and quiet. She is suitable for trails and pleasure riding as she retired with stringhalt on her left rear. She is up to date on Vaccines and teeth and has a current Coggins. Carla is a mild cribber but a collar has been effective.

If interested in adopting Carla, please call or text us: 504-858-3875 for more information regarding our adoption policy.

TRNL is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization started in 2009.
