Some of the lovely horses with us for retraining and rehoming!
Flour ~ Racehorse Retraining & Rehoming
For those of you that have been following Flour this was her today! ❤️🏇
So pleased with how much trust this lovely lady has for me.
She is ready to find her new person so please get in touch if she might be the one for you or please just share away 🙏
If someone really likes her but would like a bit more retraining done with her then she can stay longer but unfrotunately her owners need her to be rehomed by the end of this month.

Jess needs her new person to have loads of fun with!
She is great to hack, loves her jumping & has good paces. A proper fun allrounder or happy hacker!
Shanty leaves us after 5 1/2 years!
Some of our best times together
Shanty came to us 5 1/2 years ago to have some rehab for a tendon injury and then be retrained and rehomed.
Once he was ready we did actually advertise him for rehoming but then his owners decided it would be really nice to see him produced as a Dressage horse and come and watch him out competing.
We have a few horses stay with us because their owners like to support them in second careers!
Shanty was a quirky boy and we soon realised he preferred a short person riding him so I took over the ride on him from Matt who had done all the hard work getting him started.
I adore this horse and his quirks! He is talented, super smart, has an air of arrogance about him, is very opinionated, always knows best and likes to be ridden his way! Just my type of horse! ❤️ 🏇
We have had loads of fun together and he won a lot of classes with me and his owners enjoyed coming to watch their Racehorse turned Dressage horse.
Our last show together was the RoR Championships in 2023 and he was amazing in both the Dressage and an in hand showing class with me.
Unfortunately due to his owners ill health and Shanty now needing to find a permanent home, he has gone to live out his days at Greatwood.
I would have loved to keep him but I can't keep them all and financially, things are tough at the moment. We have our own oldies and loads of horses in our fields still waiting to come in for rehoming.
We dropped Shanty off yesterday and he seemed to settle straight in.
Shanty, thank you for the amazing times we have had together and all the memories. I will hopefully get to visit!
Thank you to his lovely owners who trusted us to do the best we could with him and give him a second career to enjoy.
I hate times like these but I am so lucky to get to enjoy these horses and make sure that they get the best possible future!
Happy New Year everyone! 🥂🍾
Thank you so much for the photos and comments about all the lovely horses we have rehomed.
If anyone wants to add anymore please do, we are loving seeing them all and it means so much to us to know that they are in the best homes we could have ever found for them ❤️🏇
We couldn't do this job without all the support we get from you all 🥰
Hopefully next year we can keep pushing forward to get more horses some retraining before they are allowed to be rehomed. This will help make sure that as many as possible are placed in the right homes from the very start and are given that emotional and physical support they need before getting rehomed!
We want to do more clinics and lessons and videos to help support new owners of Racehorses so please do keep following and supporting our social media pages.
It hasn't been an easy year for us as a family with a couple of bereavements which turned our lives upside down but we keep going and it is the horses and what we do that keep us going!
Thank you again and don't forget to give all your Racehorses a big Birthday kiss & hug tomorrow as it is their official Birthday on the 1st January 🎂🏇
As the year is coming to an end we would love to share some updates on some of the horses we have rehomed 🏇
Even if it is just a photo it would be great to show how much they have changed and what they are up to now since leaving us.
I would love to message everyone individually for this but hoping this reaches as many people as possible who have rehomed horses from us 🙏
Please comment and share your photos, we would love to see them!

Sorry can't help it!
Someone has posted a photo of their former young Racehorse sleeping and the best comment so far is 'poor boy, he looks as though he is in pain!!!'
All of ours must be in loads of pain 🤣
No more words 🤦♀️
I have loved making this video of all the horses out in the fields!
It reminds me why we do this, we have such happy and content horses with us and they go on to be amazing riding horses in their new homes because of this ❤️ 🏇
We have spaces at Midlands Racehorse Rehabilitation for retraining, rehab, full livery, Racehorse Retirement Livery & Holiday Livery
