TEAM UPDATE
Happy New Year to all of our friends in the Thoroughbred industry!
The 2024 rehoming season was an incredible success with approximately 200 racehorses transitioned into new careers through the Southern Belle platform; this makes for a total of over 1300 adoptions facilitated since our 2017 inception. Our appreciation for the supporters who have helped make this achievement possible cannot be described in words.
We are beyond excited for another fabulous year of rehoming OTTB'S throughout the 2025 racing season! I look forward to connecting with you all regarding a hopeful thoroughbred adoption. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or inquiries pertaining to our process as well as the available horses. As always, updates are appreciated so please send us photos of you and your OTTB so that we can feature you on the social media pages.
Best regards,
The SBT team
