Activities & Mission

The British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre works for the welfare of all Thoroughbreds and retired racehorses. BTRC assesses and then rehabilitates, retrains and re-homes these horses to permanent loan homes throughout the UK where they are regularly monitored. BTRC never buys or sells horses - the horses are donated to the charity and remain in the BTRC's ownership for the rest of their lives.
