Laurelville, OH — The Standardbred Transition Alliance announced today that another round of grants, in the amount of $30,000, are being distributed to accredited organizations in the form of their STA Fall Grant Awards.

This brings the total amount of STA grant awards issued this year to $60,000.

The STA Fall Grant rewards organizations for maintaining the terms of STA accreditation, including submitting horse inventory forms and for their productivity in placing adoptable horses in qualified homes.

The award recipients are Futures For Standardbreds (ME); New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program (OH, NY, KY) and Sunshine Horses (NY).

“We appreciate the hard work and effort that goes into each horse adoption, from the careful screening of adopters to the diligent follow-up and lifetime safety net. The STA accredited adoption programs are doing a wonderful job of assisting Standardbreds in safe transitions to new homes,” said STA President David Reid.

The Standardbred Transition Alliance is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit organization. Donations, in any amount, help further the industry-led mission: to inspect, accredit and award grants to approved organizations that acquire, rehabilitate, train and rehome Standardbred horses.
