Come help retrain horses for new careers and learn at the largest and oldest ex-racehorse adoption program in the USA!

New Vocations' Lexington Facility adopts out hundreds of horses every year, so if you're hoping to get hands-on experience in the industry and guided instruction by professionals, while making a difference, this is the place for you! We're looking to bring on a couple working students to help us around the barn and with adoptions. Tasks may include, but are not limited to, barn chores (feeding, mucking, turnout), adoption prep (cleaning for showings and pictures, taking adoption videos), and creative marketing/ strategizing to help get horses adopted.

Working students will also have the opportunity to ride with instruction, and will develop skills in retraining ex-racehorses and just general training of young/ green horses.

Qualified applicants will have experience with horses already, and show a commitment to learning. Some experience with young horses is desirable. The most important qualities in an applicant are a sense of humor, a good attitude and patience!

New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program

Location
Lexington, Kentucky, USA
Facility Type
  • Training

New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program was founded in 1992 to offer retiring racehorses a safe-haven, rehabilitation, and continued education through placement in experienced, caring homes. Most of the horses arriving at New Vocations are injured and thin, suffering the normal occupational hazards of racing. Without a useful skill to offer their previous option was often a one-way ticket to the local livestock auction.

New Vocations provides a safety net for these horses matching them with qualified individuals and following up on their rehabilitation and vocational training to ensure a successful transition. Our focus is on adoption versus retirement, believing that each horse deserves to have an individual home and purpose.

Our Lexington Facility houses 30 horses on the training side, and another 30 or so in rehab/ layup. We aim to lay a solid foundation for the horses' future careers and to match them with an adopter who will ultimately help them thrive in a new vocation!
