Research
The Center for Racehorse Retraining is dedicated to advancing equine welfare and health. We’re excited to announce our plans to expand into research, leveraging our facilities and current programs. With strong encouragement from our community, we believe this is a natural step forward for our team. Our goal is to contribute to equine well-being on a broader scale by conducting studies and sharing our research with the horse community.
Our Future
Research that changes lives
Fundamental Rehabilitation Techniques
Natural rehabilitation techniques that focus on nurturing the physical and mental wellbeing of horses by aligning their care and recovery processes with their natural instincts and biological needs. These approaches prioritize freedom of movement, social interaction, and holistic practices, enabling horses to recover in a low-stress environment that improves their overall recovery.
Equine Management Advancements
Our focus includes advancements in injury prevention through non-invasive therapies, balanced hoof care, and nutritional protocols. This research contributes to a foundation of evidence-based practices, promoting a higher standard of care across the equine industry. That is achievable for independent owners as well as large scale operations.
International Connections
Our research is establishing valuable international connections that enrich our understanding and expand the impact of our work in racehorse rehabilitation. By collaborating with equine researchers, veterinarians, and care practitioners from around the world, we’re able to share insights, techniques, and data that enhance our methodologies. These global partnerships also allow us to benchmark our findings against diverse environments and standards, fostering innovation and adaptability in our approaches. As we integrate international perspectives, our research contributes to a broader, globally-informed framework for horse welfare, ensuring that our practices remain at the forefront of equine care advancements.
Results That Matter
We prioritize actionable findings that improve physical health, mental resilience, and overall wellbeing, ensuring that every horse has the best chance to thrive in a second career or companion role. Our focus on data-driven protocols and real-world application means our research directly impacts day-to-day management practices, leading to measurable improvements in rehabilitation success rates. With each breakthrough, we are building a foundation of best practices that not only benefit the horses in our care but also influence positive changes across the broader equine industry.
