Equine athletes deserve protection while racing and dignity in retirement
23 July 2010
The ORC believes that the welfare, safety and dignity of the horse should continue in retirement. “That’s why the Board of the ORC has enthusiastically supported racehorse adoption and placement programs,” said ORC Chair Rod Seiling.
He said the ORC hopes owners consider these options. “It not only gives the horse a new home and perhaps a new career, it makes sense from a practical point of view. As referenced in an ORC Notice to the Industry (July 23), new federal regulations have imposed restrictions on sending horses for processing.”
