ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN!

Our mission is to provide an alternative to auction and slaughter for Parx Racing’s racehorses when their careers have ended by placing them with approved adoption organizations that will work to find them new homes and careers.

TFH Adoption Application

Your application will be shared with our carefully chosen, professional Partner Farms who have been responsible for the transition of adoptable horses from Parx Racing. Please be as informative as possible so that they can reach back with compatible horses in your area. Prices range from free to a good (and carefully screened) companion home to five figures for competitive horses with years of training and everything in between. The Farm Manager determines if trial rides are permissible with respect to the experience of the potential adopter with, or without a trainer. Ownership is transferred with a Right of First Refusal, and TFH will always take any horse back for a safe landing. Adopting is owning with the added umbrella of protection from our Horsemen's group to take back any horse for any reason.

THE TFH PROGRAM

Turning for Home Partner Farms operate across the country and provide an array of services to help retiring Thoroughbred racehorses transition into new careers.

“All of all the programs we have at Parx, PTHA's Turning for Home Program is the one we can be the most proud of.

- Philip Aristone , Trainer/Director

“No other retirement program in the history of our industry compares to our program. No other program is 100% fee-free for donated horses. No other program accepts 100% of eligible horses, regardless of condition. No other program has revolutionized the future of racehorse retirement, for the betterment of the horse, the owner, the fan and the racing industry than the PTHA’s Turning for Home.”

-Salvatore M. DeBunda, Esq., PTHA President

“Turning for Home was created for the horses of Parx to safely retire from racing. It is the first racetrack-based retirement program solely supported through the horsemen of Parx, with the support of the PTHA, racetrack management, the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association and the Parx Jockey Colony. For the horses and horsemen who beneit the most from our program, the true reward comes with every successful adoption.”

-Danielle Montgomery, TFH Program Administrator
