The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) has announced that it has accredited its first three Thoroughbred aftercare facilities: Florida Thoroughbred Retirement and Adoptive Care near Palm City, Fla.; New Vocations near Marysville, Ohio; and Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue near Norco, Calif. The three facilities are now eligible to receive financial support from the TAA for the ongoing care of retired Thoroughbreds.

Following a detailed application process and onsite examinations by TAA inspectors and independent veterinarians, the three facilities were each judged to have met or exceeded TAA requirements in the areas of operations, education, horse care management, facility standards and services, and adoption policies and protocols.
