The healing power of horses at work. We see it every day.

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

Nineteen-year-old Annalucia Meyer has cerebral palsy — and her mother, Emilia, says that her daughter’s bond with her therapeutic horse has helped her walk, hold herself upright and gain confidence since she began riding at age 4.

Watch more of Lesley Stahl’s report on the powerful bonds horses and humans can create tomorrow.

[CKRH @CKyRH]

Love these stories about the healing power of a horse. Thoroughbreds are special.

[TDN @theTDN]

After a career that spanned nine years and 142 races, most of them in Puerto Rico, Immortal Wink was done. Though a typical second career wasn’t possible for the war horse, a new chapter with the @trfinc Second Chances Program was.

Thank you @TBaftercare We love our Courage.

[Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance @TBaftercare]

Courage’s journey began with high expectations. Born in 2017 as the son of Speightstown, he was a $350,000 Fasig-Tipton purchase, destined for success on the racetrack. However, after just three starts and modest earnings of $670, his racing career quietly came to an end. That’s when his true purpose began.

Through the New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program, Courage found his way to Central Kentucky Riding for Hope (CKRH), where he embraced a new role—not as a competitor, but as a partner in equine-assisted therapy. Both New Vocations and CKRH are accredited by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance to retrain and rehome former Thoroughbred racehorses. The fast-paced world of racing was behind him, and in its place, he discovered a life of connection, patience, and purpose. According to staff, he seemed to prefer “the speed of life at CKRH much better!”

Courage is our man!

[IFAR @IFARnews]

Success Spotlight: During #IFAR2025, attendees visited @CKyRH and met the Thoroughbreds there. One of them was Courage, who plays a vital role in CKRH’s non-mounted, equine-assisted services program in partnership with FMC prison. He came to CKRH via @NewVocations.
