Description

Established in 1991, we are the UK’s first charity dedicated to ex-racehorse welfare, retraining, rehoming and protection for life. We are a centre of excellence, not only for the retraining of thoroughbreds, but also as an education centre to ensure best practice is maintained in this ever increasingly popular area of the equestrian pleasure industry. We aim to help as many horses as possible each year to be rehomed, these horses either come straight from the racing industry or pre-trained equestrian homes that for many reasons can no longer cope or care for the horse.

The horses then enter into the loan programme and are matched with suitable loaners, but all horses remain under our ownership for the rest of its life. Over the years we have re-homed hundreds of horses where they continue to lead appropriate post-racing careers ranging from hacking and leisure riding to competitive disciplines.
