Multi-Year Strategy Unveiled By Charity Retraining Of Racehorses

A three-year strategy covering the years from 2024-2026 was launched by charity Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) on Friday. The strategy gives the vision for the future of the organisation and a road map to achieving its goals with an eye to expanding RoR's charitable work in the area of aftercare of former racehorses, now and in the future. To view the strategy, please visit the RoR website.

David Catlow, managing director of RoR, said, “Our strategy is ambitious, but it comes at a time of real need. RoR now requires the full support of the industry and the commitment of the funding required to build on our core activities and maximise our impact.

“Our welfare and support work is embedded through our strategy. Concurrently, increasing the demand for former racehorses, educational initiatives, traceability and building the RoR community are vital components aimed at proactively addressing potential welfare issues.”
