from Riders of A Certain Age presents Conversations Beyond the Barn · host Fran Severn

Watching Thoroughbreds thunder down the track is exhilarating—but what happens when a racehorse retires? Many face uncertain futures due to age, injury, or performance. Thankfully, programs like Turning for Home provide safe homes and new careers for off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs). In this episode of Conversations Beyond the Barn, host Fran Severn talks with Danielle Montgomery, director of Turning for Home, about how the organization rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes nearly 5,000 OTTBs. Learn how retired racehorses can thrive in second careers, and how organizations and communities work together to ensure their safety and happiness.
