12 August 2008 — Each year, the fate of thousands of race horses is decided as track season ends. Some will go on to illustrous careers. Sadly, others will be shipped off to slaughter. Fortunately, an increasing number are being cared for at facilities across the country. One special home for ex racehorses is the New England Thoroughbred Retirement Center (NETRC) in Deerfield, NH. This wonderful farm houses dozens of former racehorses  who are lovingly cared for by the center’s director, David Sears and his wife Tomi, and their dedicated volunteers. David has single-handedly rescued many horses and works tirelessly to find them new homes throughout the country.
