Over the years, we've found that these wonderful animals keep stepping back into our lives. From an early age, Cindy has ridden and rescued many OTTBs (her first was at the age of 15). The farm currently has several resident OTTBs, some of which are used as lesson mounts. Parkview avidly endorses and supports efforts to see that Thoroughbreds are humanely treated during and after their racing careers. These animals deserve the ultimate respect from their human handlers and owners and are entitled to healthy, peaceful retirements.
Let us help you retrain your retiring Thoroughbred.
