However, for most horses who do not make it big like American Pharoah, they are in need of rehabilitation and new homes. Here are some places where you can adopt a horse: New Vocations Racehorse Adoption ProgramDoxy’s Horse Recovery, Doris Day Equine Center, Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary, Montana Horse Sanctuary, Last Chance Corral.

There are many other places across the world that rescue and adopt out horses!

If a horse is not an animal you have space for in your family, donating to a shelter or rescue can help improve the life of a horse and that is also a great gift to give!
