Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is British horseracing's official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing. Our mission is to safeguard the wellbeing of all former racehorses.
We help retired racehorses find new purpose and loving homes. We offer retraining and rehoming support, and welfare programmes for former racehorses to ensure they have a dignified and fulfilling life after they stop racing.
