Hidden Acres Rescue for Thoroughbreds (HART) is happy announce we have been awarded accreditation into the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA). HART is one of eight organizations that have received accreditation in 2016.
“The organizations accredited by the TAA represent the top echelon of aftercare services, ensuring that the horses retiring from racing are receiving the best possible care and opportunities to find new careers or retirements,” said Jimmy Bell, TAA and Godolphin America president.
All accredited organizations undergo a thorough application and inspection process prior to accreditation being awarded to ensure they meet the TAA’s Code of Standards covering five areas: operations, education, horse health care management, facility standards and services, and adoption policies and protocols.
We would like to send a huge thank you out to all of the volunteers and organizations that have supported HART’s mission over the years. This recognition belongs to you!
Based in Lexington, Kentucky, the non-profit Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredits, inspects and awards grants to approved aftercare organizations to retire, retrain and rehome Thoroughbreds using industry-wide funding.
