Former racehorses need your support

We have many ways you can help—choose what’s right for you and ensure no racehorse faces an uncertain future after racing.

Ways you can support us

Every year, more than 2,000 racehorses retire from racing in Great Britain. Like people changing jobs, these horses need to learn new skills, adapt to new environments, and sometimes find new homes.

We offer education and support for owners of former racehorses, strengthening the bond between them. In addition, we provide vital welfare for former racehorses that have fallen on hard times.

There are several ways in which you can support the work of RoR; read on to see how.
