ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption: Horses are Treasures - Tshirts

What We Do - An average of 30,000 Thoroughbred horses are born annually to owners and breeders who hope to raise a champion racehorse. Very few of these horses achieve star status during their careers and retire to lives of luxury. For the vast majority of racehorses, their post-career fate is uncertain and often very sad. Some are lucky enough to find their way to retirement facilities or adoption programs, such as ReRun. Others end up in kill pens, waiting to be transported across U.S. borders for slaughter. The USDA estimates that 10,000-15,000 Thoroughbreds are slaughtered each year. And it is young and relatively healthy Thoroughbreds who are facing this fate, as the median age of a retired racehorse is 5-6 years old.
