Notes

Kindly supported by Bliss of London Saddle Makers, join us for a practical, insightful demonstration designed to support anyone involved in retraining or caring for former racehorses. Led by Sarah Simpson ,BHSI (Stage 5) Performance Coach and British Eventing Accredited Trainer, this engaging event will guide you through the key stages of the retraining journey – from the initial “first steps out of racing” to the development of a confident, well-rounded riding horse.

You’ll see former racehorses at different stages of retraining and gain valuable advice on managing common challenges along the way. With time for questions (and socialising too!), this is a must-attend event for:

• Current owners of former racehorses looking for practical tips

• Prospective owners considering taking on a retired racehorse

• Coaches seeking a deeper understanding and CPD opportunities

• Anyone interested in second careers for former racehorses

Time: 6.30pm prompt.

Cost: Members: £20/ Non-members: £25

Open to: Members and non-members

Booking: Early booking advised via Horse Monkey

 

 

Important Info:

• Attendees must follow venue safety and conduct guidelines

• No dogs allowed

These events are part of RoR Education’s First Step Out of Racing initiative – helping improve outcomes and reduce vulnerability for former racehorses.

Awarded 3 BHS CPD points.
