Unemployed Racehorses Look for New Jobs, HomesLocal Horse Farm to Hold Job Fair for Off-the-Track-Thoroughbreds

Many North Dakotans have heard about the Kiefer rescue horses and the Badlands mustangs, but most are

not aware there are dozens of high quality, ex-racehorses looking for ND homes, too. Dr. RichardBowman DVM founded the Bowman Second Chance Thoroughbred Adoptionin 1993 as a place to rehab

and re-home these off-the-track-Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) that had most of their useful life ahead of them

but no place to go.

Adoption in Rhame, ND and retrained them for new careers.

There are more than 40 horses at Bowmans ranch in need of homes and the Stanleys will introduce

several of them at an Ex-Racehorse Job Fair on Oct. 12,, 2013 as part of Prairie Rose Training

Centers annual Open House. The Stanleys will showcase several OTTBs they have retrained for new

careers in various disciplinesand Bowman will have ex-racers on hand who can be adopted onsite.

Known for their big hearts and can-do attitude, OTTBs excel in a variety of new jobs after racing

everything from jumping, eventing and dressage to trail riding, ranch work and western gaming events.

local horseman to participate in adoption and retraining, and find good homes for these high qualityThoroughbreds.
