MyRacehorse's inaugural “12 Days of Giving”, a holiday auction supporting Thoroughbred aftercare, will kick off Dec. 8 and continue through Dec. 19, according to a MyRacehorse release.

The auction features memorabilia, unique experiences, and one-of-a-kind items, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the MyRacehorse Transition Fund.

Items will close each evening at 6 PM ET between Dec. 8 – Dec. 19.

Items included the 12 Days of Giving auction include:

  • Race-worn gear and memorabilia from Seize the Grey and Straight No Chaser
  • Premium race-day experiences at major racing events
  • Custom jewelry and unique keepsakes
  • Behind-the-scenes tours and private stallion visits
  • Exclusive training and farm experiences

Selected items will close daily at 6 PM ET throughout the 12-day period.

“Thoroughbreds give us everything they have, and they ask for so little in return,” said Michael Behrens, Founder and CEO of MyRacehorse. “Our responsibility is not just to celebrate the wins but to take care of the horses who make them possible. The 12 Days of Giving is a reminder of what makes this community special. When owners, fans, partners, trainers, and friends come together, we can shape brighter futures for every horse we touch. That is the heart of MyRacehorse, and it is why this initiative means so much to us.”

Through the Transition Fund and Retail With a Purpose, MyRacehorse provides the resources, assistance, and support needed to help retired racehorses begin life beyond the track.

In 2025, 10 MyRacehorse horses successfully transitioned from the track into new homes and second careers. Among them, Inspector (Flatter) was reacquired by the organization in 2024 and he was placed with Second Stride in Prospect, KY, where he began his retraining and was later adopted and started his next chapter in Three-Day Eventing.

In his first recognized competition, he won the starter division at the Hagyard MidSouth Team Challenge at the Kentucky Horse Park.

Since its debut in June 2024, Retail With a Purpose has raised nearly $100,000 to support the placement and retraining of retired MyRacehorse runners. In total, it has assisted 20 former horses and expanded its reach to partner with organizations including the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Second Stride, Echo Canyon Equine Foundation, and Remember Me Rescue.
