Our Impact for
Retired CA Racehorses
These funds support the rehabilitation, retraining, and rehoming of retired racehorses across California.
Our Placement Program rehomes retired racehorses directly, and our grants help thousands more.
Since 2008, CARMA has led the charge in responsible retirement for racehorses in California.
CARMA
CARMA is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing funding for the rehabilitation, retraining and/or retirement of California-raced Thoroughbred horses.
Please help us support retired racehorses!
Placement Program
As a service to Thoroughbred owners and trainers who need help retiring their racehorses, CARMA’s Placement Program is a safe way to transition the horse into the next phase of its life. Since its introduction, the program has assisted more than 400 horses and connected them to homes as equestrian mounts, therapeutic animals, and companions.
Aftercare Charities
Since 2008, CARMA has granted over $6.3 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.
Messineo Makeover Scholarship
The Messineo Makeover Scholarship funds West Coast travel to the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover, helping showcase CARMA Placement Program graduates and promote off-the-track Thoroughbred adoption. Made possible through a legacy gift from Nancy Messineo.
