Help ATR secure a permanent home!
The URGENCY
2024 started out pretty rough to be honest. In spite of some valiant efforts by ATR and our amazing community of supporters, the farm ATR called home for seven years was sold, forcing ATR to find a new rental, one we believe in our hearts will be temporary as our community has rallied around us to support a capital campaign to secure a permanent home for the horses of After the Races.
With new moves ahead, we also believe After the Races is about to see some serious growth. The more we raise, the better chance we'll have at securing a loan for the right farm when it comes along. A powerful down payment will make that process a lot easier. Any funds not needed for a down payment will go to making immediate improvements to a new property.
We are looking for people who share in our dream that every racehorse will have a safe place to transition, and would like to help us make it a reality. Any funds raised for this purpose will go to securing a permanent home for ATR and we do have properties on our radar that we are considering.
Thermometer will be updated often to reflect online and offline donations.

Our long-term goals for a permanent location:
-
Establish a permanent facility for racehorses in transition from racing.
-
Increase our number of stalls to 35+
-
Build a 10+ stall rehabilitation barn solely for treating horses recovering from injuries and surgeries.
-
Ample pasture that can be divided and managed in a way that we can better rest and rotate fields and have more turnout options to meet an individual horse's needs.
-
Build at least one indoor area to work with horses year round, which will keep adoptions flowing even in the heart of winter.
-
Start an internship program to better educate the next generation of horsemen and women.
-
A longterm goal is to also start a therapy program for trauma survivors.
