Monmouth's meet is short and sharp — end of May through Labor Day, with the Haskell as the highlight. We've taken horses off the Monmouth backside for over a decade, most often after the summer meet for a 60-to-90-day turn-out, sometimes for soft-tissue rehab, occasionally as a permanent retirement placement for a barn's older campaigner.
Direct vans up the Garden State Parkway and across via I-287, full-care boarding, weekly photo updates, and the same long-tenured staff every day — the same people who know each horse by name and habit, year after year.
For Jersey-Bred restricted programs, we can hold horses through residency requirements when that's part of the plan.
Common Questions
Shipping from Monmouth Park
- Do you take horses for permanent retirement?
- Yes. Retired horses live out in small compatible herds with year-round care, including end-of-life management handled with dignity.
- Can you hold a horse for NJ-bred residency?
- When it's part of the plan, yes — let us know the program requirements before the horse ships.
- What happens at the end of the Monmouth meet?
- September is our busiest intake window from Oceanport. Book early; stalls and rehab paddocks fill quickly after Labor Day.
