Training RoR Wales & Top Spec - An Introduction to Owning a Former Racehorse Day at Clwydian Stud, LL13

29th September, 2026

Whether you own a former racehorse or are thinking about taking one on this is a fantastic opportunity to have an insight into what to expect and to gain more knowledge to help you on your journey. 

We will talk all about the early days when a horse leaves racing to educating and supporting them in their second careers.

The day will be lead by Amy Bannister-Bell a BHSI coach who runs Clwydian Stud where many Thoroughbreds start their education prior to going into training and where many also come to be retrained or rehabilitated. Amy will discuss the stages of development of young thoroughbreds and how to plan and carry out retraining programmes. 

There are a number of former race horses at Clwydian Stud and there will be a chance to see them working on the ground and under saddle, we will also cover, feeding, shoeing, handling, ground work, training, fitness and routine with the chance to ask questions througout the day.

The day will also be supported by discussions from other equine practitioners who work regualrly with current and former race horses.

The day will start at 11am and run until 2pm, there will be tea, coffee and cake provided.

This day is open to members and non members of RoR.

Top Spec are supporting Introduction to Owning a Former Racehorse so alongside the wealth of knowledge of the New Beginnings team, there will be a Top Spec Representive to answer any questions you may have.
