TESTIMONIAL:
“The support of the
TAA will help us
continue to provide
care for racehorses,
especially the injured
horses. We hope that
the prestige of this
accreditation will
assist us in recruiting
additional experi-
enced volunteers and
reduce our adoption
turnaround time. What
it has done for the
aftercare community
is extraordinary.”
