Adoption Forms & Information

We’re excited that you’re considering welcoming a ReRun horse into your family! Below you’ll find the forms and information you’ll need throughout the adoption process.

Step 1: Adoption Application

First, complete our Adoption Application and submit the $20 application fee. Once ReRun reviews and approves your application, you’ll be ready to move forward with the adoption process.

Step 2: Adoption Agreement

Once approved, you’ll complete an Adoption Agreement.

As part of the agreement, adopters commit to keeping their horse for at least one year. After that time, you may sell or transfer the horse to a new owner, provided you follow ReRun’s requirements.

Most importantly, a ReRun horse may never be transferred to someone who intends to race or breed the horse, or send the horse to slaughter.

Our commitment doesn’t end when a horse leaves our care. ReRun’s mission is to help protect the welfare of our horses throughout their lives, and these requirements help ensure they continue to have safe, responsible homes.

Step 3: Keep Us Updated!

One of our favorite parts of adoption is seeing our horses thrive in their new homes and careers! As the owner of a newly adopted horse, we ask that you keep us updated by completing the Adopted Horse Update Form.

We love hearing about your accomplishments, adventures, and everyday moments together—and their former racing connections especially enjoy seeing how well their horses are doing after racing.

Welcome to the ReRun Family

Most importantly, thank you for adopting and for being part of the ReRun family and the OTTB community! Your support gives Thoroughbreds the opportunity to begin exciting new chapters and enjoy the futures they deserve.
