CANTER Mid Atlantic desperately needs your assistance to continue our operations. Please consider donating even $5.00 towards caring for Thoroughbreds who were not lucky enough to be successful at the racetrack. Payments can be made directly to the organization through our Pay Pal link, Donation Address or directly to our Veterinarian. (Please contact CANTER if you'd like to send payment to vet). All donations go directly toward the care of Thoroughbreds until they find a new home.

CANTER Horse Blogs
CANTER Mid Atlantic has started something new with a select few of our horses. In an effort to chronicle the ups and downs of Thoroughbred Retraining, we have several people who have volunteered to write about their day-to-day experience with individual horses. This will provide a wonderful learning opportunity for the Thoroughbred-buying public, as well as being an amazing opportunity for our horses. You will read about the good, the great, the bad, and the ugly. Our hope is to bring each horse from the racetrack to recognized competition. We hope you will join in on the journey.

| From Olivia Weick--owner of "General Forrest" I am just emailing you to tell you how wonderful General is. Today was General's first show in a couple months. We jumped four 2'6" courses and placed very well. Competition was a little stiff but we still got all seconds, thirds and fourths. My Little sister, she's 11, has also been slowly learning to ride General. She took him in the green hunter division. She did WONDERFUL! General was excellent! She had four classes, walk trot, she placed 5th out of 7, walk trot advanced, she placed 2nd out of 7, walk/trot/canter, she placed 1st, and cross rail canter course, she placed 3rd! She ended up taking Grand Champion! She was the youngest kid with the biggest and youngest horse! I was so proud of my baby and Liz! I'm so happy! He did so well! I love him so much! Here is a picture of me, Liz, and General!  |
