Success Stories

Selling her saddle the day before, Mallory Stiver found herself on the way to Oklahoma with her sister with some extra cash to spend. That’s where she spotted Andrus, an Oklahoma-bred son of Artax who posted one win in five career starts.

In his five career starts, all in Southern California, Uluckydevil never placed. But now he’s changing lives at TAA-accredited Square Peg Foundation.

Like many junior riders attempting to prove their mettle, Caren was looking for a younger horse that she could make into her own.

After hurricanes Maria and Irma, RVR Horse Rescue worked with Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare to help retired runners in Puerto Rico find new homes.

This well-bred son of Lemon Drop Kid out of a grade 1-placed Trippi mare was a $500,000 yearling purchase. Although it seemed like he would be destined for greatness on the racetrack, Sloping had other plans.

Usually it’s when you’re not looking for something that you find exactly what you need. And that’s what happened to Tori Tedesco when she spotted a bay gelding at TAA-accredited New Vocations at their Mereworth Farm facility in Lexington, Ky.

Just as most of us horse-crazy people have done, Jeff Tow-Arnett found himself enamored with an off-track Thoroughbred named “Noah” after seeing an online listing.

It seemed that the youngster, named Regiment, had a bright future ahead on the racetrack. But it wasn’t on the racetrack where he began to shine. 

Annora, a 6-year-old daughter of Nobiz Like Shobiz, stood quietly in the aisle of the Kentucky Equine Humane Center barn as she received treatment through a Cytowave Equine blanket on her back, and began to doze off.
