Great idea!

We are so appreciative to people like Taylor, who is asking for donations to TROTT in lieu of birthday presents this year.  Thank you so much Taylor!   We know you and Goer are a wonderful team!

My name is Taylor McCullough-Fries and I found out about your wonderful program through one of my idols, Mike Smith.  I am fifteen years old and have been riding for about seven years now. This past August my family and I bought a horse named Little Goer. He is an OTTB, and I could not have asked for a more faithful, loving companion!! After going through a pretty scary riding accident last year, I feared that I would never ride again. Goer’s patience and trust brought me back from those fears and have taught me to fall in love with horses all over again.

The reason I am contacting you is because I would like to make a donation to your charity. My birthday, which is May 7th, just happens to be the same day as the Kentucky Derby. Very exciting! I am planning to have a birthday/viewing party at my house and instead of my friends bringing gifts for me, I was going to ask that they bring a donation for Trott! Your charity is very close to my heart, not only because of my Goer but because of all of the amazing horses there are in the world. These guys and gals deserve a second chance and your organization is there to help them!

Thank you so much for your time!!  Taylor

Hello world!

Welcome to our community of horse lovers!   TROTT USA’s mission is to take horses straight from the track and train them for new careers.   We love the happy endings, and want everyone to share and update their horsey stories.  And we LOVE pics!  And updates on your adopted horse!!

If you love horses and want to help promote these talented athletes who have many happy years ahead of them, you have much to offer this community.

Those of us who were lucky enough to grow up with our own horse know the healthy lessons we learned, and we want to inspire others to share the beauty of  a relationship with their horse.

This blog is for sharing, and inspiring….your stories, photos, questions, advice, and more.
