British horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing, Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), has officially launched a new website. Visitors to the site can easily find information on ex-racehorses, from how to own one to the various competitions under the RoR Series.

Each equine discipline is uniquely colour-coded to enable users to quickly go to the area of the website they are most interested in - be it polo, showing, endurance, eventing, show jumping, dressage or simply hacking. To illustrate the benefits of having an ex-racehorse there are many success stories to view, with more famous ones are listed in the 'Hall of Fame'. Information on RoR itself is also featured including a short video featuring Clare Balding, details of the RoR Clinics and the charitable retraining centres it helps support.

Di Arbuthnot, RoR director of operations, said:  “This new website provides a wealth of information to help owners as well as promoting the benefits of owning an ex-racehorse.”
