Honored to oversee HISA’s Equine Recovery Foundation (HERF) which exists to provide a safety net when a racehorse suffers a career-ending but treatable injury. Thank you to @LightUpRacing for this fabulous video! Please reach out with any questions.

I would like to interrupt the division in the racing industry right now with something we all can agree on- thoroughbred aftercare 🐎 Everyone meet MR. BIT, our newest 3 years old rescue. He has 15 starts with $31,900 in earnings. He was a horse that gave everything he had, every single time. On his last race, he was eased after collapsing due to an abnormal heartbeat. Now under HERF’s care, he’s getting time to rest, heal, and just be a horse again.. closely monitored and surrounded by a team of people who believe in his second chances. And soon, he’ll begin a new chapter helping veterans and first responders heal. It’s ALWAYS about the horses & ALWAYS will be. You can find our new website Equinerecovery.org 🐎❤️

Just wow. TRUE story! 🇺🇸 ❤️

@NewVocations Fabulous update! Amazing number of adoptions during a snowy and cold February! Congrats! 🎉🐎

Make that 23!

It’s critical that we, as an industry, listen to and embrace the next generation of trainers, owners, jockeys, veterinarians and other horsemen. Welcome to our new advisory group members—and thank you for your support as we work to improve the game for all.

@PatCummingsNTA Amen! Keep up the great work! 🐎

Hey horse racing…

Godspeed, Jane. ♥️

Have a question about HISA? Please post here for the July newsletter. 🐎

@BillyBelterra @megslanina I can confirm it is not Lisa Lazarus from HISA. As CEO of HISA she is prohibited from owning horses.

@megslanina Thats funny that there is an even more dumb lisa lazarus running around. Facts are optional here Melinda

Imagine if Roger Goodell owned an NFL team and was also the commissioner.

So blessed for my 35+ year friendship with Paul Cornman. He defined loyal friend. Thank you @Steve_Byk for the lovely tribute on today’s show. I’m sure Paul would have given it a thumbs up. 🐎 💔

My heart is full seeing this perfect second career transition. Rooting for you, Sterling!

If you have any questions about HISA budgets and how/why the funds are spent, please join today’s town hall. You will have the opportunity to ask questions following a detailed presentation. Today at noon ET, open to the public.

@WelbourneStud Sending prayers. Hang in there! 🙏

Just as we passed the 12 hour mark post-foaling I received a call from Dr. Barr. They've not been able to keep her comfortable overnight. As soon as the meds wear off, she is trembling and in pain. She's heading to surgery now. Her colt is strong & doing fine. I hurt for Sis.

HISA is making significant progress. Thank you to the horsemen, veterinarians and stakeholders that are committed to equine safety.

Completely in his competitive zone and yet he stops. Respect. ❤️

His happy exhales are priceless. ❤️

That hug. ❤️

Today is #NationalHorseProtectionDay and we remind everyone who owns, trains or interacts with horses to always treat them with the kindness and care they deserve. #Horseracing #Thoroughbred
