The Virginia Thoroughbred Project, Inc. (VTP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located on the historic grounds of James Madison’s Montpelier. Many of the 34 horses in VTP’s care had their racing careers cut short by injury while others were simply not fit for the demanding sport. VTP ensures these magnificent animals live out a life of tranquility for as long as it is comfortably possible.
Part of the mission of the VTP is to assess the possibility of the rehabilitation and adoption of some horses for whom a second career might be possible. These horses will usually be ones that have come to the VTP as younger individuals with no seriously limiting injuries. They will be evaluated and trained by professional staff and considered for use as a pleasure horse, dressage, jumper or eventing prospect. Others that are not suitable for retraining may be offered for adoption or fostering as companion animals under programs to be established in the near future.

The ultimate goal of the Virginia Thoroughbred Project is to set the gold standard for the aftercare of the Thoroughbred horse in Virginia. Please help us achieve this by donating today.
