Galloping Out is Waiving Fee for Owners Donating Horses to the Program
The directors of Galloping Out , the ITHA's thoroughbred horse re-homing program, understand the challenges facing Illinois horsemen and horsewomen in this difficult time and, most especially, the hardship created by the reduced racing schedule.
Effective immediately and until further notice, Galloping Out is waiving the donation fee to place a horse in our program. We hope this will help encourage continued and robust owner participation in Galloping Out so that thoroughbred horses can enjoy productive and rewarding lives after they retire.
Applications are available in the ITHA office or online at Gallopingout.org. Owners may also follow the Galloping Out link on itharacing.com, the ITHA's website.
We represent our membership in its relationships with the race tracks, at Illinois Racing Board meetings, at the state Capitol in connection with legislation affecting horsemen and horse racing, and at industry meetings throughout the country
