Horses need somewhere to be when they retire...

Moorcroft Racehorse Welfare Centre nestles in the heart of the glorious Sussex Weald country. It is a charitable centre for recently retired racehorses. Based at the Huntingrove Stud in Slinfold, West Sussex, Moorcroft is the temporary home for a maximum of 28 horses. Moorcroft was established in order to find new permanent homes for racehorses that were no longer suited to the job of racing. These horses come from a variety of racing backgrounds and it is the charity’s function to find them suitable alternative homes based on their abilities and needs.

It starts at about 1:08 and finishes just after 1:35.

The charity does not sell its horses but merely asks for a donation to be made to the charity based on the quality and ability of the horse - which is typically way below market value. If you feel that you are in a position to offer a loving home to one of our deserving horses, please do not hesitate to contact us. We also have some lovely horses that can not work again but need a good home as a field companion. We do not ask for a donation to the charity for these horses and would invite anybody who feels that they could use any of these horses as a friend for their own horse to please get in touch with Mary on 07929 666408.
