CANTER Pennsylvania provides retiring thoroughbred racehorses with opportunities for new careers.
Thanks for your interest in CANTER PA horses! Below is a list of vets available for service at Penn National Racecourse. Shopping for a horse on the track is different than shopping for a sport horse; race trainers often do not have the ability to hold horses for an extended period of time while buyers arrange for pre-purchase exams. Accordingly, we recommend contacting a veterinarian prior to your visit to see if they would have any flexibility to complete a pre-purchase exam on the date of your track visit.
For a helpful article about common soundness concerns for racehorses, please check out Susan Salk's interview with Rood & Riddle's Dr. Laurie Metcalfe.
Best of luck!
