So so lovely isn’t it, such a fab place xx

This is lovely to watch. I am actually due to bring home my ex-racer in 2 weeks! She is 15 now so her racing days are long gone, she enjoys a quiet life just having fun jumping, doing fun rides etc. - I am very excited for her.

[@clauilein1093]

Beautiful to see! 🥰 friends of mine have therapy horses and four of them regularly go eventing at 100/105 with them at the weekend and then plod along so nicely with children the next week. They are so very special ❤️ I'm helping out when they have larger events and I just adore it 😊

I have a racehorse who is now my ex racehorse, my partner bought him a few years ago and sadly he injured himself in January which brought his racing career to and end. He’s so level headed and so sweet natured we just had to keep him, i took him on my first ever days hunting and he looked after me so much, they’re such kind horses who just want to be loved ❤

[@amandawilson1426]

Lovely content & really interesting to have something a bit different. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

How lovely to see ex racehorses going on to have a fulfilling life when they retire! I think i recognised some of their names!! 😍

[@littleninja0]

What a fantastic place. Thank you so much for sharing this, so heart warming x

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

It was such a lovely place loved it there 💜

[@LittleMissSomeone]

I had no idea this place existed- thank you for sharing! Having rescued two dogs and now looking for my first horse having been riding for my entire life, you’ve definitely opened my eyes to rehoming! I actually learned riding on former racing thoroughbred’s (in Europe though not in the UK) so they definitely have a special place in my heart.

[@lauralamour5944]

Beautiful, heartwarming vlog, thanks girls x

[@aliceanimals]

Loved this vlog Tina!❤️

[@taylorjanejennings]

Absolutely love this🙌 As the proud owner of an ex racehorse I can confirm they really are the kindest souls and genuinely deserve that second shot at a new career in life🥰 I opted for the more challenging route purchasing mine directly from her trainer in Newmarket rather than a rehoming centre and I can confirm a challenge it has been but my what a journey and such a rewarding one, I’m hoping to start getting her out soon and have set up my channel to follow our progress along the way🐎🧡

[@lynettekeyser1513]

The race horse industry is not on top of my favourite list, but im glad to see that there are some places and people out there that are willing to give them a second chance at life. Thanks T and Em for this!

i work with race horses and have my own x racer and they are truly incredible horses to ride and have x

[@caitiehouston]

I have two gorgeous ex racehorses, a mare and a gelding, both of which I bought straight from the track! They had both retired from racing within a week of me buying them, as in raced on the Friday and I bought them on the Tuesday kinda thing. I’ve had them both just shy of three years, it’ll be three years next week with my mare and three years at the start of April with my gelding. They take a while to retrain but I have started competing them both a low level showjumping and dressage but I hope in the future to join BSJA with them both. They’re only 6 and 8 so I have plenty of time yet to join BS❤

[@jessicabella2863]

This reminds me of the barn I ride at

My 3year old Racehorse are very lazy 😂😂😂He has now be off for about 1 month so he will get into work this week or next week. My other horse had a roll in the water with me and tack so tomorrow is tack cleaning day 😂😂

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

My horse did some therapy stuff when she was younger. Apparently she handed over her hooves too easily and they complained about her? I'm not gonna teach her to be worse behaved
