At New Start Standardbreds, we are dedicated to providing a second chance for Standardbreds, ensuring they find loving homes and fulfilling new roles beyond the racetrack. Our mission is to facilitate the rehoming of these incredible horses through a seamless intake process. 

 

We understand that life circumstances can change, and sometimes, parting with a Standardbred becomes necessary. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring your horse is placed in a safe, caring environment where they can thrive.

​

Our program operates across Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes provinces - our goal is to help you place your Standardbred, no matter the location.

​

Important Considerations
Fees: Owners can request fees for their horses; however, this may extend the time required to find a new home.

Foster Placements: We have limited foster placements available, and these are reserved for emergency situations first. We appreciate your understanding as we work to accommodate as many horses as possible.

​

​

Steps to Request Rehoming Assistance:

Complete the Intake Form: Complete the intake form below with detailed information about your Standardbred.

​

Submit Photos/Video: After submission of the intake form, email photos and/or video to administration@newstartstandardbreds.com or send to our Facebook page.

Ongoing Support: Our team will guide you through the rehoming process, including vetting potential adopters and ensuring a smooth transition for your horse. Should your  horse require an emergency foster placement due to your situation, we will work to set up your horse in a safe space as quickly as possible.

​

Ownership Transfer: Once a horse joins our foster program, or is successfully adopted, we ask registered owners to please sign the Non-Racing/Non-Breeding Standardbred Canada Ownership Transfer. If you are not the last owner on record for your Standardbred, this will not apply to you and will will reach out to the person required to sign.

​

Together, we can ensure every Standardbred has the opportunity for a new start and a bright future.

Thank you for entrusting New Start Standardbreds with your horse's well-being.
