Mission Statement
Thoroughbred Placement Resources, Inc. improves the lives of Thoroughbred racehorses, both active and retired by providing training and rehabilitation while educating the public through the development of Breed Ambassadors.
About This Cause
**We Provide help for Horses in need of Surgery or Rest and Rehabilitation In addition to Thoroughbreds with training issues, there are horses who leave racing with physical problems. These can be successfully addressed through surgery or rest and rehabilitation. Horses like these are difficult to place due to the cost of rehabilitation and there are few who have the skills needed to correctly rest and rehabilitate these horses. In many cases, proper rest and rehab results in an excellent prognosis and a sound horse ready for a qualified adoption. We Create Breed Ambassadors - Currently, keeping a retired Thoroughbred racehorse and putting the correct training on him will cost more than the seller can recoup. The same amount of training on a Warmblood will pay about twice what a comparable Thoroughbred will bring. This causes people to get horses off the track and move them on quickly for a few thousand dollars where they will likely be resold again. This does not provide the training the horse needs to be desirable to upper level trainers. We can address this by selecting excellent Thoroughbred candidates and giving them the proper training they need. This will make them attractive to top riders. This will increase their value substantially. **We Create Breed Ambassadors Currently, keeping a retired Thoroughbred racehorse and putting the correct training on him will cost more than the seller can recoup.

Kimberly Godwin Clark, the founder of TPR has written a book, “New Track, New Life: A Guide to Understanding and Re-Training Your Off-Track Thoroughbred,” with the purpose of promoting correct training methods. It offers insight into the life the horse had as a racehorse and offers a better understanding of ex-racers. In 2016 it was published on Kindle and Amazon in both print and electronic formats. It is also available in audio format. Clark is currently working on a second book that focuses on training horses and addressing problems. Additionally, TPR and Godwin Clark hold a clinic series at Leighton Farm to teach horsemen how to better understand and train retired Thoroughbred racehorses.
