Description
- Leading and Ground Manners - Level 1- Eagle is a large puppy that leads easily in a plain halter and lead rope.
- Grooming and Tacking - Level 1 - Eagle stands quietly to be groomed, tacked, and bathed. He loves attention and interacting with his person.
- Horse Care - Level 1 - Eagle is currently barefoot and is an easy keeper. He has no known vices.
- Riding - Level 1 - Eagle is simple and uncomplicated undersaddle as he is on the ground. He is a kick ride and we can see why he never made it to a race!
- General Demeanor - Level 1 - Eagle is a puppy with a sweet soul. We just love having this sweet, goofy guy in the barn!
- Physical Capability - Level 3 - Eagle retired sound but was too slow to see his first race. He can go just about in any direction- as long as it does not require the need for speed! As always, veterinary records are available to interested and approved adopters.

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES
New Vocations intentionally sets our horses’ adoption fees lower than the average cost of buying a Thoroughbred or Standardbred from a private seller (in today’s market, horses coming right off the track are often listed at $5,000 to $10,000!).
Our fees range from $0 (waived) to $3,500.
- Fees typically correspond with a horse’s Anticipated Physical Capability. So, horses that are found to be best suited for non-riding careers (our Pasture Potatoes) have waived fees, while the fees for horses assessed to be suitable for high-impact careers will be up to $3,500.
While our adoption fees are low, it’s important to remember that costs associated with ongoing care and additional training for a horse can be high. We hope that by helping adopters save money upfront, you’ll have more funds available to cover the costs of properly caring for and training a retired racehorse.
When you adopt a horse through New Vocations, you’re helping two horses; your new family member and the one who takes their place in our program. Our facilities are nearly always at max capacity, which means we can’t take in a new horse until one is adopted. Keeping our adoption fees low helps us find appropriate homes for horses quickly, enabling us to help even more horses transition off the track as stalls open up in our barns!
Another perk of adopting from us: we do all we can to give you the most value for your adoption fee. Most adoptable horses have been in the program for a minimum of 60 days, during which they've rehabilitated (if needed), socialized with other horses, been evaluated by trainers and veterinarians, and have been in regular training with a professional. On average, the monetary value of these services exceeds $5,000. Any medical records (often including X-rays and ultrasounds) and pertinent history we have on each horse are also available to interested and approved adopters.
