ASPCA Right Horse Scholarship Returns for 2026 Makeover

[Wandering Eyes]

The ASPCA Right Horse Scholarship will return for the 2026 Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of America thanks to funding by the ASPCA Right Horse Reimagining Racers Grant, the Retired Racehorse Project announced Tuesday.

The scholarship will fund the costs of one stall and first discipline fee for up to 50 eligible horses competing at the 2026 event, a minimum value of $405 per horse. The grant also funds $4,000 in additional prize money for the Former Broodmare division, awarding $400 to second-place finishers in each discipline.

Eligible horses include those adopted from ASPCA Right Horse Partner organizations; horses must be registered for the 2026 Thoroughbred Makeover. Horses meeting certain criteria will be prioritized to receive scholarship funding, including former broodmares, cribbers, those that require rehabilitation at the time of adoption, or have career limitations.

Applications are open for the 2026 Thoroughbred Makeover through Jan. 23. Late applications will be open after 5 p.m. EST Jan. 23 through June 26. Horses can be registered along with submitted applications, and horses must be registered by July 28.
