Horse racing tracks around the country are generally beautiful, and the horses that run these courses are thoroughbred racing horses and beauties to behold. A thoroughbred racing horse in his or her prime receives the best in food, medical care, a work outs, but once they are past their prime, sometimes the owners sell them or dump them, leaving others to care for them.

There is a fantastic organization that takes care of retired thoroughbred racing horses, and it relies on donations from people to give these former stars a good retirement. They are well fed, exercised and taken care of so they can enjoy the pasture. They raise money by selling paintings that the horses have created with brushes in their mouths, and sell these "moneighs" on eBay. The web site for this organization is ReRun.org, and they have facilities in Kentucky and New York, both big states for horse racing.  They also allow adoptions of retired thoroughbred racing horses to people who can take care of them. They have testimonials from people who have adopted these animals, and they bring a great deal of joy to the new owners.
