“Beyond the Track is a must-read for those wishing to own and love a retired racehorse. Covering everything from what a Thoroughbred experiences at the track to how to successfully transition the horse into a second career, the book offers step-by-step training methods and advice in an easy-to-follow format, with detailed photos for reference. As the Thoroughbred Program Director for the oldest and largest racehorse adoption agency in the nation, Anna Ford has helped thousands of retired racehorses transition into second careers, making her a true authority on the process.”

“Beyond the Track by Anna Ford is breakthrough racehorse literature, concisely covering every facet of what to expect and how to get the most out of your off-the-track Thoroughbred (OTTB), both mentally and physically. The book could also be called ‘OTTB Training for Dummies’ or ‘OTTB Training A–Z.’ I consider this book the ultimate in training manuals for anyone thinking about adopting an ex-racehorse. Anna Ford is uniquely qualified to be the author of this book, which reads easily and covers every important detail of transitioning a horse from the racetrack to his next career.”

—LIZ HARRIS, FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

“I’m a strong supporter of finding good homes for Thoroughbreds once they retire from the racetrack. I think it is great that Anna Ford has put together a book to help assist in the training process. These horses are great athletes and definitely can go on to be successful in new careers with the proper guidance and training. I believe Anna is a special person—through her work and dedication she has made it possible for these Thoroughbreds to have a second chance at life.”

“A great book where very loving, caring people teach others how to share love with a horse, give him new opportunities, and bring out the best in both horse and rider. It is necessary to learn to handle Thoroughbreds the right way, and the author does a great job explaining detail.”
