[Wandering Eyes]

The 2026 accreditation application process is now open and can be accessed online, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) announced Monday.

Nonprofit Thoroughbred aftercare organizations that are interested in applying for accreditation during the 2026-27 term must submit the completed application by Apr. 1, at 6:00p.m. EDT. All organizations that were accredited in 2023 or any new organizations need to apply for accreditation this year. Others that were accredited in 2025 need not apply as their current accreditation extends through 2026.

Accredited Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance organizations are eligible to receive financial grants to further support the care of their Thoroughbreds. The amount awarded in 2025 to Thoroughbred aftercare organizations was $4.7 million, totaling $40.74 million since inception of Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance in 2012.

“Becoming accredited with the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance provides guidelines and standards to organizations and gives them the opportunity to obtain formal recognition in the Thoroughbred industry,” said Janice Towles, director of Accreditation & Grants at the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “We hope that new partners will be added to our family of accredited organizations and we look forward to assisting our current groups in their purpose to retrain, retire and rehome Thoroughbreds.”
