RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION (ROA) VISIT
On Monday 8th July, members of the Racehorse Owners Association and the Racegoers Club enjoyed a visit to the Racehorse Sanctuary in Pulborough, West Sussex
The group of 25 guests was welcomed by Chief Operating Officer and Trustee, Catherine Mcllwraith, who provided an insightful overview of the invaluable work undertaken at Mulsey, including the re-homing programme. Nigel Dunger, the Yard Manager, gave guests a guided tour of the facility, where they had the opportunity to meet the horses on site. Notable among these were Pet the Feat, thriving in his retirement at 20 years old, and Jardines Lookout, still vibrant at 28 years old.
The visitors were also treated to a ridden demonstration by Sowdrey aka Ollie, a horse that has been successfully rehabilitated and re-trained by the Centre and is now seeking a new home.
The informative morning highlighted the crucial work performed by the charity in supporting thoroughbred welfare.
Sincere thanks go to Catherine, Nigel and all the staff at the Centre for providing a fantastic and enlightening experience. Keep up the excellent work!
The work at The Racehorse Sanctuary & Rehoming Centre is dedicated to helping to safeguard the welfare of all the ex-racehorses into their care so please visit the support us page to see how you could help.
