Adopt A Horse In Need Today

Donate or Sponsor A Horse In Need

Adopting a retired thoroughbred racehorse can be immensely rewarding for both the horse and the owner. This new journey will create opportunities for bonding as you provide your retired racehorse with a wonderful next chapter in life. On behalf of everyone at TRRAC, thank you for considering an off-the-track thoroughbred.

If you can't adopt, please consider sponsoring a horse in rehabilitation. These horses face a long recovery journey, and your support can significantly ease their transition and healing process.

( Great Notion - Dearie Be Good, by Scrimshaw )

Last Race: Laurel Park - 11/8/2024

2025 RRP Makeover Eligible - What is the makeover?

Dearly is a 2020 Maryland-bred mare by Great Notion out of Dearie Be Good (Scrimshaw). She’s RRP Thoroughbred Makeover–eligible, sound, wears front shoes, and is vice-free—an easy keeper who stalls politely, turns out well, and stays steady and respectful for vet and farrier. She stands quietly on cross-ties and reads like the kind, straightforward partner amateurs enjoy. Race history: 5 starts, 0-0-1, $5,510.

Her pedigree points directly to sport. Great Notion (by Elusive Quality → Gone West → Mr. Prospector) is a Mid-Atlantic stalwart whose line is prized for a ground-covering step, balance, and rideable minds—qualities that play in hunters/eq and jumping sport. On the dam side, Dearie Be Good is by Scrimshaw (Gulch → Mr. Prospector), bringing toughness, bone, and an active hind leg; the next dam is by Storm Bird (Northern Dancer), a classic source of balance and athleticism. Taken together, Dearly’s page stacks scope, gallop, and trainability.

Where she fits: the natural step and rhythm to shine in hunters/equitation, the engine and composure for eventing and foxhunting, and the balance to build a correct dressage foundation as she strengthens.

IMPORTANT:

Interested parties requested an appointment MUST have an approved application on file. Applications will be approved in full providing an application form is filled out in its entirety that includes references as well as a completed vet reference form.

---------------

Want to schedule an appointment to come see this horse? You can schedule right online! We offer two types of appointments- farm visits and live video chats. Video chat appointments are offered to applicants who are far away and would like to meet the horse they are interested in to either adopt sight unseen or would like to determine if the horse is for them before making a long trip. During video appointments we are able to do everything just as a physical visit- we can ride, groom, jog and show a 360 degree view of each horse. Please remember, an appointment does not secure the availability of a horse, however you may place a non-refundable deposit on a horse you are interested in.

As we are a 501(c)3 non-profit, we are not resellers, but DO feel it is fair to recoup the value of a horse depending on the amount of training the horse has had, it's athletic ability as well as it's resume. After all, you are getting a mount who has experience in a certain career set- whether they are a seasoned trail horse to already showing or a horse who has full upper level potential.

At times we will have very low fees as well. Usually, we have holiday or season specials. These horses are usually either very green, are overlooked due to previous injury or are limited in their career paths. There is nothing wrong with them and often their fees are low to simply find them a home so we may make room for more horses- our average waiting list is up to 8 weeks, or 60 days long.

If you are interested in a horse, a 20% deposit may be made on the horse's fee/price. This is a non-refundable deposit and ensure's a security on the horse for 5 days. Pricing for horses are subject to change at any time, as well as availability. Scheduling an appointment will NOT gaurantee a horse's availablility. A deposit may be made through PayPal. We cannot guarantee a horse's availability if a deposit is not placed. We do not "hold" horses otherwise. When placing a deposit, you ensure the horse's availability as well as current price.

If paperwork has not been completed (contract, bill of sale and submitting remainder of adoption fee) It will be assumed that the interested party has abandoned their interest in the horse and will forfeit their depost.

"Sight unseen" and out of state/country adoptions are allowed. We use insured and professional shippers and will constantly keep parties updated on their horse's shipping and progress. All interested parties will be financially responsible for health certificates as well as required paper work for the transportation company.

If you are adopting sight unseen, we will do our absolute best to provide all video and photo correspondence regarding the horse you are interested in. We encourage you to take advantage of our "live" appointments via video phone to view horses.

Horses may be tried on premises - no trials will be allowed.
