Racehorse Rehoming Centre has a long history in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming ex racehorses. Not all thoroughbred's born make it to stardom on the racetrack, many are just not capable of making the grade, others suffer injuries which deem them useless to the racing industry. Even those that have been successful often fall upon hard times and need our help. Thousands of racehorses leave the industry every year, and a sad fact is many are sent for slaughter. Contrary to popular belief, ex-racehorses are remarkable individuals with fantastic characters. If given time, and support they can become anything from happy hackers to advanced Eventers. Some horses come in direct from owners and trainers wanting the best for their horses, others come in as welfare cases in a terrible state. All horses receive medical care, dental work, farrier work and loads of dedication and love. All horses remain in the ownership of the charity for the rest of their lives and are available for permanent loan to enjoy their second phase of life. A safe place is always available if they need to come back to the charity for any reason. The charity is run by volunteers and is entirely reliant on our supporters to cover the substantial costs of saving the horses.
