The pandemic has caused large and small changes in many aspects of the horse world. In spite of the downturns, the California Thoroughbred Foundation made some adjustments and continues to fund veterinary medicine scholarships, our primary mission. The students training to provide for the health and safety of the horse still need our support.

Across the country, tracks have curtailed or canceled their meetings. Racing has continued in California, but without spectators and with limited access for owners. Sales have gone on but only with precautions such as social distancing and access by video.

One thing that has not changed is the needs of horses, including their health care.

Our Foundation is vitally involved in promoting this area by awarding scholarships at U. C. Davis and Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona to veterinary medicine students, carefully selected because of their interest in horses and intention of working with them upon graduation. Several of our recipients have joined the veterinary safety teams at Santa Anita and Del Mar. Additionally, we created the Louis R. Rowan Fellowship in Equine Research at Davis.

Helping develop veterinarians and funding research are unquestionably essential. However, we cannot do it without your support. Please help us with a gift today. Your help is invaluable if you care about the welfare of horses.
