CANTER Delaware exists solely on donations and volunteers. Every dollar and hour donated goes toward the exclusive benefit of Delaware Park horses transitioning into great homes after their racing careers are over. \u00a0CANTER Delaware is a listing service only, meaning we do not intake horses from Delaware Park. \u00a0As such, volunteer opportunities exist solely around website maintenance, liaising with the racing trainers, and marketing and promoting horses for sale on behalf of their owners. \u00a0Feel free to contact us if this sounds like volunteer work you would enjoy. We do not have any hands on with horses or riding opportunities.<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/h3>\n

The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses (CANTER)\u00a0has been partnering with Delaware Park since 2009, helping hundreds of horses find new homes. \u00a0In 2016, Delaware Park added\u00a0Mid Atlantic Horse Rescue as a donation component\u00a0to compliment CANTER’s listing service. \u00a0CANTER serves as a listing service to showcase all horses for sale directly from trainers at Delaware Park. \u00a0For those interested in purchasing Delaware Park alumni\u00a0with a little let down\/retraining, Mid Atlantic Horse Rescue takes in, lets down, retrains, and adopts Thoroughbreds, including many from Delaware Park. \u00a0At Delaware Park, CANTER, Mid Atlantic Horse Rescue, and Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association all contribute to a FB page to showcase Delaware Park Horses. \u00a0Links below.<\/p>\n
