Welcome to Moorcroft Racehorse Welfare Centre in Sussex

Our aim is to find permanent homes for racehorses who are no longer suited to racing but we offer so much more including clinics and courses.

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.

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.

Alternatively, you may like to volunteer your help to Moorcroft in whatever capacity you are able or even make a charitable donation in order that Moorcroft can continue its valuable work.
