What is the timeline for adopting a horse?
If you are interested in adopting a listed horse, you must fill out an adoption application. Once your application has been reviewed, a TROT representative will visit your farm or boarding stable to ensure proper facilities for a retiring racehorse. Once you are approved, then you are eligible for adoption. An adoption contract will be required for every horse. Please keep in mind that the horses housed at the track are in need of quick placement, so time for numerous visits and evaluations will not be practical. If you come to visit a horse, please be prepared to make a commitment within 72 hours and arrange for transportation. Please see Adoption & Fostering for more information.
