Post-Career Care is Paramount

Post-Career Care is Paramount

Racehorse welfare is vitally important to us at RaceShare, which is why we are a recognised partner and supporter of the Retraining Of Racehorses (RoR) charity.

When owning a racehorse we all have a responsibility for what happens to the horse when their racing career is over.

The first step of a RaceShare horse’s retirement plan is to apportion a percentage of the initial share price to a retirement-and-retraining fund for that horse. This fund then goes towards any costs associated with rehoming or retraining the horse.

Our trainers put a horse’s welfare first, so RaceShare will always accept their recommendations and retired horses are rehomed on the basis that they cannot participate in races again. It may be that an owner with RaceShare is able to re-home one of our racehorses, so this is another avenue that we will always explore.

More information on post-career care can be found in our owner's handbook.
