Thank you for supporting the RRP
In 15 years of operation, the Retired Racehorse Project has made a measurable impact on the Thoroughbred, bridging the gap between the racing and equestrian industries to champion the breed as an equine athlete. Through its core tenets of education, inspiration and service, the RRP increases demand for Thoroughbreds beyond racing.
You need only look at the over 5,000 horses that have been directly impacted by our programming, the increase in value for Thoroughbreds upon retirement from racing – $1,570 in 2016 to $3,067 in 2024 – or the hundreds of pieces of content we’ve produced for our free educational offerings to see the measure of our impact. The work of the RRP within the aftercare space has started a movement back to the Thoroughbred as a sport horse — and when more equestrians choose the Thoroughbred, every horse becomes a winner.
Your support helps us continue to educate, empower, and inspire equestrians to get involved with Thoroughbreds beyond racing.
Your donation is DOUBLED up to $38,700 for our 2024 Year-End Giving Campaign! Help us continue our vital work to increase demand for Thoroughbreds beyond racing. Can you give $15 in honor of our 15-year anniversary and ensure the future of the breed?
Chya Johnstone Has participated in every Thoroughbred Makeover since 2015, partnering with 23 horses over the past decade.
She’s as versatile as an equestrian as the breed to which she’s devoted her personal and professional life: a former licensed jockey and exercise rider, she has training experience in multiple events and qualified two horses for the 2024 Thoroughbred Makeover Finale, pictured here.
