Our Rehoming Policies


Close X     
Rehoming:
Our organization has the following re-homing (adoption/purchase) policies and procedures in place:
    All potential adopters/purchasers complete a written contract which constitutes the agreement between our organization and the new owner
    Our organization will only re-home an equine to a location where another equine resides
    Potential adopters/purchasers must visit our organization and be observed with the equine on site
    The distance of a potential adopter/purchaser's home from our facility is a consideration for when re-homing an equine
    The agreement reflects that any individual or organization in possession of the equine as of the date of the agreement and any time thereafter is bound to not sell the equine at auction for slaughter or allow the equine to be sold, transferred, released, or otherwise placed into possession of any person or organization that will cause or allow the equine to be sold at auction for slaughter.
    The agreement states that should the adopter decide to re-home the equine, our organization must grant approval of any individual or organization intending to take possession of the equine for any reason prior to the equine being placed into the possession of such individual or organization, including being provided written notification of the name, address, and telephone number of any individual or organization intending to take possession of the equine for any reason.
    The agreement states that if there is any breach of contract the equine must be returned to our organization
    The agreement states that our organization reserves the right to make unannounced visits
    The agreement states that our organization reserves the right to make scheduled visits
    The agreement states that adopters/purchasers can return an equine to our organization free of charge
    The agreement states that adopters/purchasers can return an equine to our organization for a fee
    The agreement states that adopters/purchasers are required to provide updates (photos, vet records) for three or more years

Our organization requires references from the following:
    Veterinarian
    Farrier
    Personal/Other

Transfer of ownership occurs:   Immediately (at the time of adoption/purchase) or less than one year

The average equine re-homing (adoption/purchase) fee received by your organization:  $1,001 to $1,500

Additional information about our rehoming policies and practices:
Every potential Adopter must complete a Buyer Approval Form that includes information on riding skills, horse care experience, use of trainer, details on the location where the horse will be boarded, vet and farrier references. The potential adopter visits the training facility for Canter thoroughbreds that are available for adoption, meets with the trainer who assesses the adopter's horse knowledge and riding skills, and if comfortable, will monitor the adopter riding the horse to ensure a good match between horse and adopter. The adopter pays an adoption fee and signs a lifetime Bill of Sale to adopt the horse which prohibits the horse from racing or being sold at auction, and gives Canter first right of refusal if the adopter needs to re-home the horse in the future.

Public Charity

Our Mission/How we are involved with horses:
CANTER's program helps Thoroughbred ex-racehorses to heal from injuries, receive retraining so they can excel in new careers and marketing to find the perfect CANTER-approved home. CANTER accepts non-competitive and injured thoroughbreds off racetracks in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Most are young at 3 - 5 years old. CANTER transports them off racetracks into Michigan State University for surgery to repair racetrack injuries, or to CANTER-approved rehab or training facilities for veterinary evaluation, treatment and farrier care. Rehabilitation time helps them adjust to farm life and living in a herd. Retraining begins for new careers and marketing results in adoptions by Canter-approved adopters in non-race homes.
CANTER provides life saving surgery to remove bone chips or repair leg fractures at Michigan State University, while providing an advanced education to MSU Vet students who assist with all aspects of arthroscopic surgery.
CANTER horses heal with several months rehab. A vet assessment determines when they can end rehab and begin retraining for new careers.
