I'm glad to know that everyone is concerned that she goes to a good post-track home. I wish I could take her.
When we retired our three racehorses, we had to relinquish ownership of the horse to the retirement farm. The program up here is very similiar to the one in PA.

There are strict guidlines that adaptees HAVE to follow or they get the horse taken away. at the ILEHC, the adaptee has to submit a vet report of the horse every three months, pictures of the horse every other month and background checks of the person and immediate family. There is also an interview and they have to agree to a bunch of things before even approved.

The people that usually run these adaption farms are very good people, and they are super aggressive in their tone and how they carry themselves. They take great pride in doing what they do and get little back. That being said, to a normal person, they come off a touch weird.
