The Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF) is pleased to award the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) $7,500 in support of its annual Aftercare Industry Month (AIM) this February, providing weekly webinar series open to all with a professional interest in Thoroughbred aftercare from any facet of the industry.
“AIM is an evolution of RRP’s former Aftercare Summit, which was presented as an in-person educational gathering at the Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium until 2022,” said Kirsten Green, Executive Director, RRP. “We are truly grateful to TERF for supporting RRP over the last seven years to help us further our mission to empower more equestrians to ride a Thoroughbred, offer Thoroughbred-only online horse listings, and conduct educational clinics and seminars throughout the country. The driving force behind everything RRP does is educating the public, especially equestrians and equine enthusiasts, about the potential and versatility of off-track Thoroughbreds as riding and competition horses.”
Currently under development, this year’s AIM virtual conference will offer a series of weekly webinar sessions on topics pertaining to both non-profit organizations and business entities. AIM will help attendees learn about the transition of Thoroughbreds from the track to structure and market their business and organization properly, along with other topics.
TERF’s grants reflect the values set forth by founders Herb and Ellen Moelis. TERF’s current Board includes Co-Chairs Kathleen Anderson, DVM and James Orsini, DVM, Lynne Cassimeris, Ph.D.,
Margaret Duprey, Roy Jackson, Katelyn Jackson, Ellen Moelis, Cory Moelis, Wendy Moon,
Anita Motion, Scott Palmer, VMD, and Josh Pons.
