Originally, adopter Laura applied for another horse in our program during the 2020 pandemic. However, we had another horse in mind who we knew would do great things. Due to the pandemic, visits were closed to the public. We relied on phone calls, FaceTime and videos. Laura did not meet her horse until he stepped off the trailer- and the rest is good history for these two!
Laura Otten had previously owned an off-track Thoroughbred and always intended to return to riding and horse ownership. Over the years, she had followed several aftercare organizations, hoping to adopt another Thoroughbred someday...Interestingly, The Astral Rascal wasn’t the horse she initially applied for. Instead, TRRAC staff thoughtfully matched them based on her experience and long-term goals.
Enjoy the full success story:
