Sponsorship Details
One of our three training programs will provide you with a Turning for Home horse to free lease and train based off of your preferred discipline to bring to the RRP with no up-front cost associated with the lease of the horse.
You will be responsible for all of the expenses of traveling to, and participating in the Retired Racehorse Project 2025.
Once you check into the RRP with the horse provided, We will send you a $500 rebate just for participating in the disciplines you signed up for.
After the RRP, you have the option to purchase the horse outright from the program for $1500, to either sell or keep - OR you can give the horse back to the program.
This is a great program for trainers to expand their horizons!
Open to trainers who both have and haven't been previously involved in RRP.
**Contracts will be required!!
