RoR teams up with TopSpec for education and dressage initiatives in 2026
Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is delighted to announce a new partnership with TopSpec, who will be supporting the RoR Introduction to Owning a Former Racehorse education series alongside a selection of RoR Regional Dressage Championships.
Held at retraining centres across the country, Introduction to Owning a Former Racehorse days offer invaluable insights, practical tips and support for new owners. With expert advice on managing the transition and understanding retraining practices, these days aim to leave attendees feeling more confident with their own journey.
TopSpec’s support for the education series sits alongside their support of a selection of RoR Regional Dressage Championships, expanding on the support they provided to two of these events last year.
David Catlow, Managing Director of RoR, said: “We are thrilled to be joining up with TopSpec for these initiatives in 2026. Their commitment enables us to provide more opportunities for former racehorses and their riders, as well as to continue to support newer owners as they embark on their retraining journeys.”
Katy Mickle, Managing Director of TopSpec said: "At TopSpec we’ve always believed that every horse deserves the very best nutrition. Thoroughbreds transitioning from the track can have unique dietary needs, and we truly believe that TopSpec’s feeding approach of feeding a balancer and adjusting the energy intake with a suitable TopSpec cube or mix makes it one of the most suitable feeds for former racehorses as they settle into retraining and new careers.
“Supporting organisations like Retraining of Racehorses and the incredible work they do to give these horses fulfilling second lives is something we’re genuinely proud of.
"We appreciate the dedication and patience it takes to retrain a racehorse, and nutrition will play a big part in that. We look forward to supporting this education series to help people navigate the feeding of their horse through every stage of their retraining journey."
