Trainers/Owners:

Your Standardbred can be rehomed (adoption or sale), FREE of charge, into a guaranteed non-racing, non-profit home where he/ she will be retrained as a saddle horse for pleasure riding, showing, equestrian competition, pony club, pleasure harness etc.

The Association for Trotters Exiting Racing (AFTER) is a not-for-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to promoting this gentle breed as a genuine saddle horse to ensure they have a life after racing. 

To ensure your horse is well looked after by his/ her new owners, AFTER also provides follow-up support for those people adopting or buying a horse.

AFTER holds social activities, competitions, shows and other events for its members.  However, our main focus will always be on the Adoption Program and education and support for Standardbred owners.

AFTER provides support for Standardbred owners via instruction days, training seminars and the contact details for trainers and riding instructors who are “Standardbred friendly”.

AFTER was formed by a small group of people who wanted to focus on the Standardbred Adoption Program, which was started by Caroline Jeffs a little over five years ago.  In that time almost 150 Standardbreds have been rehomed through the program.
