www.adenaretirement.com Adena Springs (big time racing/breeding outfit) has announced a retirement program. They're really doing it right! From their web site: The goal of the Adena Springs Retirement program is simple - Match horses with loving owners who will make a lifelong commitment to their health and well being. The Adena Springs Retirement program was created in 2004 and was the first in-house retirement program within the industry. The Adena commitment to our horses lasts beyond their racing years, and we are dedicated to providing them with a lifetime of care and happiness. Each horse is unique and we strive to find suitable homes for each and every one of them. The thoroughbred is a versatile athletic breed that can be successful in almost any discipline be it racing, hunter, jumper, dressage, eventing, western or pleasure. All of our horses with time, patience and re-training become loving and gentle companions eager to please. Thank you for your interest in our program. Most of all, thank you for sharing our passion for the Thoroughbreds. Please call us to arrange a personal visit, or contact us with any questions you may have about becoming part of the Adena Retirement Program. Massive kudos to Adena Springs! (and wow, check out their sale cuties! This guy has video and is a beautiful mover!)

Do you know if it says anywhere about the youngsters that fail out of training? Are those adopted out too with the exracers? A lady at the barn is looking for a never raced TB.
