HORSE WELFARE

We are dedicated to ensuring that racehorses are treated with the utmost care and respect. From their training to their living conditions, we strive to provide a safe and healthy environment for these magnificent animals. Our commitment to their welfare extends beyond the racetrack, as we believe that every racehorse deserves a happy and fulfilling life. We work closely with veterinarians, trainers, and staff members to ensure that each horse receives the attention and support they need to thrive.

If we have a horse that retires, they will be cared for at West Shaw Farm, based in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, until they have found a loving new home. At West Shaw Farm, retired racehorses are given the opportunity to transition into a slower pace of life, enjoying lush pastures and gentle care. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that these horses are prepared for their next chapter, whether it be as beloved companions, therapy animals, or even in second careers.
