About Us
CANTER PA is a non-profit organization dedicated to rehoming retiring racehorses through a free listing service offered to race trainers and owners. We strive to create a bridge between the race industry and the sport horse industry to assist in placement of ex-racehorses into quality sport and pleasure homes.
CANTER PA is based out of Penn National Racecourse, but also lists horse at PARX as well as various farms throughout Pennsylvania.

What is CANTER?
CANTER is an acronym for The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses. The program began as a solution to help racehorses find new careers by connecting buyers and sellers through posting racehorses for sale on the internet. The program quickly became a national web-based phenomenon. Since the first CANTER Michigan program started in 1997, we have expanded to twelve affiliates across the country . We are an all-volunteer run organization with 501c 3 non-profit status.
