news Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) selected as Aria Grace Equine Law’s charity partner of the year

Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is excited to announce its selection as Aria Grace Equine Law’s charity partner of the year for 2025. As part of this partnership, AGL Equine Law will donate 5% of its revenues received from 1 January to 31 December 2025, to support RoR’s mission in safeguarding the wellbeing of all former racehorses.

Aria Grace Law CIC, a not-for-profit law firm, is renowned for offering exceptional commercial legal advice to equestrian clients. With an in-depth understanding of the equestrian industry, Aria Grace Law CIC was awarded “Law Company of the Year” at The Lawyer Awards 2023, thanks to its unique model that channels 100% of its profits to charity.

As part of the partnership, RoR members will gain access to valuable legal resources, including a webinar scheduled for late April 2025, which will focus on purchasing a horse safely. The webinar will be open to all, regardless of membership, and cover important legal topics related to buying and selling a horse. The webinar will address common legal questions, particularly in areas such as contracts and agreements, purchasing, loaning, and rehoming former racehorses.

David Catlow, Managing Director of RoR, shared: “We are thrilled to be selected as Aria Grace Equine Law’s Charity Partner of the Year. This collaboration will offer our members much-needed legal support and expertise. We look forward to the upcoming webinars and the positive impact this partnership will have on the RoR community.”

At Aria Grace Equine Law, we are dedicated to offering high-quality, accessible legal services to the equestrian community. Through this partnership, we can support RoR’s invaluable work and provide legal guidance to its members, ensuring they receive the best possible advice.”
