Aftercare Spotlight: Johannesbourbon

At Bourbon Lane Stable, aftercare for our retired racehorses is just as important as their time on the track. As we approach the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover in October, we’re highlighting some of the incredible Thoroughbreds we've rehomed, thanks to the Bourbon Lane Stable Retirement Fund, Inc. This fund ensures that our off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) receive the care they deserve in retirement.

Meet Johanessbourbon

Johannesbourbon showed exceptional talent as a 3-year-old, breaking his maiden by an impressive 9 3/4 lengths and competing in races like the G3 Coolmore Lexington Stakes. He placed in 9 of his 12 career starts but had to retire early due to a soundness issue. Today, Johannesbourbon enjoys a peaceful retirement at Old Friends Equine, where he’s cherished and loved.

The Importance of Aftercare

We’re committed to the aftercare of our OTTBs, ensuring they transition smoothly from the racetrack to retirement. Our partnership with organizations like Old Friends Equine and the Retired Racehorse Project reflects our dedication to promoting responsible horse ownership and providing the best care for our Thoroughbreds.

Stay tuned as we continue to share the stories of our retired racehorses and celebrate their new lives beyond the track. Check out our Aftercare page for more information.
