Despite a year full of unprecedented challenges, the CARMA Placement Program helped nearly 50 Thoroughbred racehorses transition off the track and into their new careers as riding horses or treasured companions. We would like to thank everyone who supported us in 2020. You are so important to us.
If you would like to donate to help us support more retired racehorses, we would greatly appreciate it.
