Helping Retired Racehorses

Since its introduction, the program has assisted more than 350 horses and connected them to homes as equestrian mounts, therapeutic animals, and companions.
Funding Non-Profits
Since 2008, CARMA has granted over $4.8 million to non-profit organizations that retire, retrain and re-home Thoroughbreds that have raced at partnering tracks in California. To date, more than 4,500 horses have been helped through our grant process.
