The Alberta Thoroughbred Aftercare Society (ATAS), has a committed group of individuals who are working together to create a registered charity for thoroughbred aftercare (currently a registered NFP) . We are passionate about the welfare of thoroughbred racehorses both on, and off the track. We are committed to providing a safe landing, and a safe transition for our thoroughbred racehorses when they are no longer able to compete. We work hard to find them loving, adoptive homes as they move to second careers. Our racehorses deserve happy retirements and satisfying second careers in the show ring, as pleasure horses, broodmares, and companion animals.In addition, we have a commitment to educate owners, trainers, breeders and the general public about the merits of off track thoroughbred aftercare, retraining, and retirement.
