Advice and Information

Retraining my ex-racehorse

Having an understanding of the sort of life your horse had in training prior to becoming a riding horse can give you valuable information on how best to manage any issues that may arise. At HEROS we will try to help with any problems you come up against.

Buying/leasing an ex-racehorse

In our view the stigma attached to ex-racehorses is very misguided. Although they are more athletic and therefore quicker in their reactions most are also intelligent, versatile and keen to learn new skills. We will help you in your journey.
