Retired off the track racehorse transition fund.

This fund is available to off the track thoroughbreds that have been retired from racing. The fund covers anywhere from eight weeks to six months approximately of the retraining process, which allows our experienced staff to work with the horse to assess what discipline/role might best suit them.

Racehorse Health and Welfare – Level 3 certified training.

 

This training addresses the care of racehorses from a welfare perspective within the context of ‘The Five Freedoms’ framework, but it also goes beyond that to incorporate considerations of positive welfare and underlying ethical issues. 

The importance of everyone that deals with thoroughbreds being fully trained and aware of their responsibilities has never been more pressing in Ireland given recent high-profile controversies that have raised concerns amongst the public about the standards of horse welfare in the racing world. The aim of this training is to help raise standards across the racing industry.
