NEW SHOWS FOR THOROUGHBREDS! The NATIONAL THOROUGHBRED RACING ASSOCIATION announced that the Thoroughbred Horse Show Association (TBHS) will hold two Thoroughbred-only horse shows at the Kentucky Horse Park in 2012. The shows, on April 14-15 and October 5-7, will feature introductory level, multi-discipline classes including show jumping, dressage and competitive trail riding. The shows are open to Thoroughbreds who are registered with The Jockey Club.

PLEASE NOTE: We check phone messages once a day and try hard to return calls within 48 hours. You may get a quicker response to your inquiry by emailing info@secondstride.org.
If you are interested in adopting one of our Second Stride thoroughbreds, please remember that priority is given to those with an ADOPTION APPLICATION ON FILE. Thank you for your interest in our program and our adoptable thoroughbreds!
NEW THOROUGHBRED INCENTIVE PROGRAM! To encourage the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of careers in racing or breeding, The Jockey Club announced the Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.). T.I.P. offers sponsorship for Thoroughbred-only classes and divisions, high point Thoroughbred awards at open horse shows and competitions, a Thoroughbred of the Year Award and a Young Rider of the Year Award. For all the details please visit http://www.tjctip.com >>
Due to the nature of equine adoptions, no adoption made with Second Stride Inc. has a refundable fee, warranty period, or any obligation to accept previously adopted horses in exchange or trade-in free of charge. We try hard to provide as much information as possible about each horse's physical and mental state prior to adoption, but we advise adopters to vet check a potential horse prior to adopting to be sure it is suitable. We do agree to help network and place any horse adopted from Second Stride that does not suit the adopter's needs if the adopter does not want to sell privately. We will take previously adopted horses back into our program on a priority basis free of charge, as space permits. We are not liable for any known or unknown defect in an adopted horse.
Please note that we track adopted horses to make sure they do not ever show up in any future race entries.
ALL HORSES ADOPT ON A "FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED" BASIS WITH PRIORITY TO THOSE WITH APPROVED APPLICATIONS ON FILE.
We accept all major credit cards through
May 2011 - All horses were vaccinated for the EHV-1 virus prior to the current outbreak and all are completely up-to-date on all vaccinations. All horses have current health certificates. A statement from our veterinarian that a horse is EHV negative can be provided.
To nominate a successful off-the-track Thoroughbred to be NATIONAL THOROUGHBRED RACING ASSOCIATION "Horse of the Month", send an email to The NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance at aftercare@ntra.com, and include your horse's registered Jockey Club name.
