About CANTER

Mission Statement
The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses (CANTER) provides retiring thoroughbred racehorses with opportunities for new careers.

Through our website, CANTER provides the means for the public to view thoroughbred racehorses that are ending their racing careers and are available for purchase or adoption. CANTER volunteers walk the shedrows of the racetracks taking listings and photographs for posting to the website. At most of our affiliates, the trainers may donate or sell their horse to CANTER and the organization will find approved non-race homes for their horses.

For additional questions about the program that are not answered in the general FAQs may be directed to CANTER by email contact NancyK@canterusa.org.
