I do have to say, I commend your organization for having "realistic" adoption prices!

I think ex-racehorse adoption is a great thing. I have an ex-racehorse, that was at auction and about 400lbs underweight when I got him. He is the most wonderful horse you could ever want. And it is just ashame that when they cannot run anymore they are thown away like trash. I totally support your cause and I wish I could take in more. But at the moment I have 5 ( all from rescues or auction ) and they are all great horses. These poor horses make people money when they can. So they should all be taken care off after that. That is my optinion at least. Keep up the good work. I will definitely keep your website to donate to when I can. |

I just wanted to say that I have personally visited New Vocations and was very impressed with everything about them. The next time I am in the market for something, I will be looking there first. ACC |

Based off of the website, prices, and quality of horses, they look like a great organization. I plan on adopting an ex-racer in the future, and will definitely save their website. Thanks for posting!

I had been wanting to adopt from New Vocations many times, but the distance was too far. However, that was my first choice, as you guys do such a great job with everything.

Wow, I am impressed! Very nice! And great to see that there is a Michigan Facility! Now we have another option, rather than Canter, who I don't always agree with Kristina

Great website. I have just started looking for a horse to do some jumping with. I am not sure if I am up for the rehab/training of a retired racehorse but maybe. The distance and cost involed to transport to NE would be something that could throw a wrench in the system.
