Contact UsEvery horse should enjoy a life both before and after participating in races. At Ram Bar Aviv, horse care isn't just important, it's a principle that influences all our choices. From the minute a horse sets foot in stables, their health and mental wellness become central to their experience. In the realm of racing, where the focus often lies on speed and winning accolades, we hold dear the values of honesty and care towards horses, along with the enduring commitment that comes with being a horseman.
"Retraining champions, rebuilding lives"
Like all athletes do at some point in time, racehorses reach a stage where their competitive days come to an end, be it because of age, injury, or a shift in temperament. It's at this juncture that our attention turns towards ensuring that each horse is provided with the chance to excel in a career or enjoy their retirement in a caring and appropriate setting.
Ram Bar Aviv has created a relocation and post care system aimed at connecting horses with skilled and enthusiastic individuals or groups who are well-informed about horses’ needs and care requirements. The program evaluates each horse’s personality traits, vitality, and ability to adjust to figure out the suitable role for them after their racing days are over, whether it's as a friendly companion horse, a therapy partner, a participant in events, or even as part of an educational initiative.
While some horses who have been trained by us over the years have excelled in dressage competitions and show jumping with finesse or provided rides for leisure activities, others have taken on the role of gentle companions in therapeutic and equine-assisted learning environments. It's truly remarkable to witness the possibilities for a rewarding new phase in their lives — and we are honored to play a role in facilitating this transition.
"Next chapter for your star"
The program involves collaborating with a reliable group of adoption specialists, pet owners, and equine organizations to locate the ideal placement for each horse in need of rehabilitation. Each transition is managed thoughtfully, inclusive of histories, behavior evaluations, and post-placement check-ins whenever feasible. It's not simply about providing horses with a place to live, it's about finding them a loving home.
In alignment with our goal of advocating for the well-being of race horses, Ram Bar Aviv, is delighted to endorse the commendable efforts of HEROS Charity — a group that has served as a source of inspiration for numerous retired race horses throughout the United States.
Ram Bar Aviv firmly believes in the impact of using horses for educational purposes on the farm that often hosts students and therapy groups, as well as special education programs for visits regularly. Horses possess a capacity to impart crucial lessons in patience and respect while enhancing non-verbal communication skills — our involvement in a community that leverages these attributes to improve the lives of both humans and horses fills us with great pride.
"Openness and honesty are crucial for building trust and maintaining long-term relationships"
Rehabilitating and caring for horses is not merely optional; they are Ram Bar Aviv’s core beliefs and practices. We prioritize communication with horse owners concerning a horse's quality of life, status, and potential for rehousing. Our dedicated team collaborates with veterinarians and behavior specialists well as prospective caregivers, to guarantee that each transition serves the horse's best interests. We also cherish building lasting connections with our horses even after they find homes by staying connected with their new owners to offer support and guidance whenever needed. Not just that, but we also keep up with their post-racing adventures through photos and letters or even in-person meet-ups as a testament to the special bond we share with each animal.
"Your assistance is very valuable"
If you're interested in adopting a retired racehorse or volunteering with an equine charity to discover more about life after their racing days are over, we welcome you to delve into the realm of HEROS and other similar organizations. Every effort, whether it be through dedicating time, offering resources, or raising awareness, plays a role in enhancing the health and comfort of horses who have dedicated themselves to the world of sport and now seek tranquility, rest, and attention.
