Lost...and Never Found by Anita Larsen6/21/2023 In 2021, Larsen found homes and new callings for 150 Thoroughbreds, bringing the total to more than 600 rehomed horses at the time. Year one, it grew very, very quickly, not only the followers I had, but I rehomed over 100 horses in my first year doing it. That's when I thought, 'This could be something.' That's when I started an official Facebook page and began to market the horses. I was able to do it very easily because of the connections I have. "Another horse came up at Fort Erie, and then other people started asking me. Not long after rehoming that first horse, requests came in faster than a final quarter-mile. It's blossomed into something she had never envisioned. It started with one horse of a trainer who I was riding for." This wasn't an intent, to start rehoming racehorses. I ended up getting my exercise rider license, started galloping, and fell in love with it. That sort of opened my eyes, the backstretch and how alive it is, and all of those beautiful horses. I ended up going to Fort Erie-my first time ever at a racetrack-and got in touch with her old trainer. "She was my first Thoroughbred and I was just very interested in where she came from.
