RACEHORSE AFTERCARE
Minnesota Harness Racing Inc. is committed to the well-being and aftercare of Standardbred racehorses, which are known for their exceptional versatility. After concluding their racing careers, these horses often transition seamlessly into various equestrian disciplines, proving to be excellent riding companions. The organization's efforts have resulted in numerous successful adoptions within the local community, where Standardbreds have excelled in eventing, trail riding, and barrel racing. This dedication to aftercare not only enhances the lives of the horses but also enriches the lives of their new owners, fostering a strong bond between horse and rider.
