Off the Track Racehorse Initiative

Monday 2 March 2015, 5:50pm

Racehorse syndicator Peter Morley has implemented a new policy designed to enhance and nurture the post racing careers of horses raced by his clients. Through his two companies Belhus Racing Stables and Grand Syndicates, Peter has introduced a new policy to pay for a re education campaign for each of their horses when they've finished racing.

Pete explained-“I take enormous pride in giving our horses the best of care both on and off the track, with a particular focus on their all-important post racing careers. With this in mind, in the majority of cases, if a horse hasn’t been sold on or isn’t being used for breeding purposes (fillies and mares), then after its retirement from racing, it’s a condition of each of our syndicate or partnerships that all members are billed the sum of $110 per 5% share to go towards the horse’s post racing re-education program. This will enable us to send the horse to a professional person skilled in the process of retraining a racehorse to become a horse suitable for use in other new equestrian sports or pastimes. This initial process takes around 6-8 weeks, and once completed, it not only gives a horse the right start to its new career, but it also value adds them and makes them much more desirable to potential sport horse and or pleasure horse enthusiasts who can give their ‘off the track’ racehorse a good home where they’ll be well treated and loved for many more years to come.

By announcing this new initiative, Peter’s hoping that other racehorse syndication companies and trainers also implement similar policies for the good of all racehorses...
