FL Thoroughbred Adoption Program Comment by FL Thoroughbred Adoption Program on January 19, 2010 at 9:28am
My name is Julie, I am the program director for Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program. We are a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization located in Farmington, New York on the grounds of Finger Lakes Race Track. We are an adoption facility to help retired race horses find a new career and a forever home. Visit all the horses for adoption on www. fingerlakestap.org.

My name is Dawn Mellen and I am the President/Founder of After the Finish Line located in Toluca Lake, California. We are a National 501 (c) 3 funding non-profit that helps rescued Thoroughbred horses that can no longer race or breed. Please visit our website at, www.afterthefinishline.org.

" The greatest victory for a Thoroughbred is not winning a race,
but winning the race to live long past their days on the racetrack."


For nearly a decade I have been volunteering to help rescue organizations across the United States care for and save Thoroughbred racehorses and broodmares from slaughter. I quickly learned that funding was the common problem for all rescues. There is a need to raise funds to help them support their existing Thoroughbreds as well as provide funding to rescue additional horses.

I believe people want to help the Thoroughbreds yet they don't know how or who to donate to. The donations given to After the Finish Line enables us to award monthly emergency funds and yearly grants to qualified Thoroughbred rescue organizations across the United States. The funding can be used to save horses at auctions, pay for surgery or medical expenses, provide hay and feed, pay boarding expenses, or transport a Thoroughbred to safety.

Board members are not salaried. We are all volunteers. These beautiful animals deserve the opportunity to transition into second careers such as hunter/jumpers, dressage, trail or companion horses. More and more people are becoming aware of the cruel fate that awaits many of these Thoroughbreds. They should not be forgotten in their time of need. After the Finish Line will be a voice for Thoroughbred horses that are not supported when their racing careers are over.

Join our efforts to make a better life for the Thoroughbreds. Send me an email at dawn@afterthefinishline.org if you want to receive our monthly newsletters.


Sincerely,


Dawn Mellen, President

Hi Everyone

After having minis for the past 4 years, I just got my first big horse in a long long time, a 3 year old Thoroughbred named Barrick! He's an absolute sweetheart. Just thought I'd introduce he and I ;)

Kristen, when my horse rolled around in her stall I would put a shipping wrap made for the hock on that just velcros on. It worked very well and was pretty comfortable for the horse.
