The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) has accredited 19 equine aftercare organizations, bringing the total number of sanctioned organizations to 42, with more than 120 facilities throughout North America.

Accredited organizations can apply for grants annually from the TAA to go toward the ongoing care of retired Thoroughbreds, with individual grant amounts based on a comprehensive review and allocation process by the TAA grants committee and approval from the TAA board of directors. An announcement regarding 2015 grants will be made in December.

"In a relatively short period of time, the TAA has built a strong program and the industry has shown great action and momentum in getting behind it," said Stacie Clark, TAA operations consultant. "This year alone, the TAA will have accredited 19 new facilities, bringing the total number of accredited organizations to 42 in just two years, and these organizations will receive approximately $2.5 million in grants."
