The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses (CANTER) is currently holding their fall online auction to benefit CANTER Mid-Atlantic. The auction is chock full of fun goods, lessons, tack, services, and much more! This is a great way to get started on your holiday shopping and benefit a fantastic cause.
CANTER started as a solution to help racehorses find new careers by connecting buyers and sellers through posting racehorses for sale on the Internet. The program quickly became a national web-based phenomenon. Since the first CANTER Michigan program started in 1997, it and has grown to include chapters in California, Illinois, the Mid Atlantic Region, the New England Region, Ohio and Pennsylvania. All the CANTER programs are all-volunteer organizations with 501c3 non profit status.
Be sure to check out the auction listings, register a username, and bid away!

The horses in trainer Joe Davis’ barn at Horseshoe Indianapolis don’t just get standard hay in their nets each day. Throughout the afternoon, Davis or one of his employees opens the HayGain machine that sits at the end of his shed row and pulls out a warm, beautiful-smelling bale of freshly-steamed hay to fill their nets.
