Owners
Have you considered sponsoring your racehorse's second career?
With your support, your racehorse could have an exciting second career as a competition horse. Many ex-racehorses compete in the exhilarating world of eventing.
Racehorse aftercare
Collective lifetime responsibility
In 2020, British racing's Horse Welfare Board published a five-year welfare strategy - "A life well-lived". Within this document the authors discuss "Clarification of responsibility", specifically they state: "If you buy a horse, or a share in a horse, you are its owner, and legally and morally responsible for its welfare once the trainer’s role is completed."

Gifting Process
Gifting a horse to Racehorse Relief
Not only do we take horses straight from the racetrack, but we also take horses from private homes where for whatever reason you may not be able to keep your horse anymore. We do not judge people on their situations or change of circumstance.
- Should you wish to send your horse to us for rehabilitation/retraining and rehoming we ask for a donation towards the care and training we will provide.
- This is to cover the extensive costs of stabling and feeding the horse, the farrier and expertly schooling and retraining using our excellent high-quality facilities.
- On average for a 12 month period, it costs around £7,500 per horse in our care. We do hope you will consider these costs when making a donation.
- Our team of dedicated staff look after our horses to the highest of standards and we strive to take the necessary time in matching each horse to its new loanee.
