The Center for Racehorse Retraining, based in Chugwater, WY, aims to provide sanctuary for retired Thoroughbreds in need of sanctuary, provide rehabilitation for OTTBs, as well as retraining and rehoming for horses capable of second careers. The Center for Racehorse Retraining aims to raise awareness about off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs), methods of rehabilitation for OTTBs, and the need for sanctuary care for Thoroughbreds that are no longer rideable. In addition, Center for Racehorse Retraining performs research with the goal of improving well-being and soundness by utilizing a natural, free-roaming environment.

Founded in 2016, the Center for Racehorse Retraining has found homes for more than 150 OTTBs across the country and helped over 40 retired OTTBs in sanctuary care. CRR has recently shifted focus toward rehabilitation and sanctuary care for horses that have limited options due to health, soundness, or behavior. The unique setting and expansive space offer a premier environment for strengthening and improving hoof quality, reducing stress, and building body condition.

Becoming TAA-accredited has given Center for Racehorse Retraining the opportunity to better serve more OTTBs in all aspects of retraining, rehabilitation, and sanctuary. Through affiliation with TAA, Center for Racehorse Retraining is excited to continue to provide services to a greater number of OTTBs, as well as continue to provide awareness and education on topics related to the health and wellbeing of OTTBs.

The high quality of care that the Center for Racehorse Retraining boasts would not be possible without countless supporters and volunteers. The board of the Center for Racehorse Retraining is extremely appreciative of its exceptional staff, volunteers, and generous donors.
