When a racehorse’s
career is deemed over, it is sometimes sent to slaughter, for no other reason
than that it can no longer race as it did when it was young. Kathleen Gerenger
loves horses, and stands up to this injustice as a true friend to animals and
to retired racehorses in particular. Kathleen Gerenger sees these animals not
as things that have outgrown their usefulness, but as creatures that deserve to
be protected. Kathleen Gerenger works tirelessly to ensure that all retired
racehorses get the chance to live out the rest of their lives once they leave
the track.
With this goal in
mind, Kathleen Gerenger began volunteering for the Thoroughbred Retirement
Foundation of New York, launching a lifelong passion to improve the lives of
these beautiful animals. While some people might be content just to do this
work, Kathleen Gerenger realized that advocating for these animals was not
enough. Eventually, Kathleen Gerenger took it upon herself to rescue a
racehorse that was slated to be killed. By adopting Gamble the retired
racehorse, Kathleen Gerenger saved his life, and gained a lifelong companion.
Gamble and Kathleen Gerenger are a winning team. Kathleen Gerenger and Gamble
even celebrated a victory together at the Geneseo Horse Trials, where they won
in their training level.
Their victory showed
that retired racehorses’ lives are far from over when their racing careers end,
and Kathleen Gerenger’s work to rescue retired racehorses is very important and
can really pay off. Kathleen Gerenger is proud to spend much of her time
protecting horses like Gamble. And through competing with Gamble, Kathleen
Gerenger shows that for a racehorse that gets a second chance, retirement can
be the beginning, not the end, of a new and exciting life, for horses and their
adoptive owners alike. Kathleen Gerenger works every day to help horses like
Gamble find loving homes.
