🏁 AND THEY ARE OVER THE LINE! 🏁🐎

What an absolutely unbelievable weekend. The digital doors are closed, the race is run, and we are thrilled to announce that we officially sold 167 tickets in our Grand National draw!

Because of your incredible support, we have raised over £400 going straight to Racehorse Relief! That is a massive amount of money that will directly fund the feed, vets, and vital retraining for our rescue horses here in Cornwall.

🏆 THE PRIZE POT 🏆
The system has crunched the numbers, and the other half of the pot has been split! A huge congratulations to our THREE lucky 1st place winners who are taking home £83.50 each, plus our 2nd and 3rd place winners who also grabbed a share of the winnings! (Keep an eye on your emails, we are reaching out to arrange your payouts now!)

A massive thank you to every single person who threw a fiver in, the 60+ people who shared the original post, Jules and the team at BBC Radio Cornwall, and legend Barrie James for rallying his followers. You have all proved what an incredible, supportive community we have when it comes to equine welfare.

Thank you all again from myself, the Trustees, and most importantly, the horses. Have a fantastic Saturday evening! 🍻

⏳ THE BIG RACE IS ALMOST HERE! ⏳🐎

A quick thought before the Grand National this afternoon...

Millions of pounds will be handed over to corporate high-street bookmakers today. But what if you put your fiver somewhere that actually supports the horses after they leave the track?

Skip the bookies and jump into our locally-built digital sweepstake instead! It takes 10 seconds, the system assigns you a random runner, and the split is simple:

🏆 50% of the pot goes to the lucky winner.
🐴 50% comes directly to Racehorse Relief to fund the feed, vets, and retraining of our ex-racehorses here in Cornwall.

Don't just give it to the corporate giants today—have a faff-free flutter that guarantees these incredible athletes get the retirement they deserve!

🎉 100 TICKETS CROSSED! 🎉🐎

What a Friday! Thanks to everyone sharing, to BBC Radio Cornwall for the airtime, and a massive thank you to Barrie James for championing the cause this afternoon. His followers are already flooding in! We have officially sailed past 100 entries for tomorrow's Grand National draw!

That means a fantastic pot is building for the winners, and vital funds are already locked in for our rescue horses' aftercare.

Heading out for Friday drinks or seeing family tonight?
Take 10 seconds to spin up a private group and drop the link in your WhatsApp. Faff-free banter, and it supports the horses.

🎉 50 TARGET SMASHED OVERNIGHT! 🎉

A massive thank you to everyone who answered our call yesterday. We have just crossed 50 entries for our Grand National digital draw this Saturday!

That is already £125 going straight into the prize pot for a lucky winner, and £125 coming directly to the centre to fund our work. For those new to our page, our mission is simple: we provide vital aftercare and retrain these incredible athletes to give them a fulfilling second career once their racing days are over.

It is brilliant to see the community stepping up to ensure these horses get the future they deserve. 🐴

The momentum is real, but we still have a long way to go to hit our massive weekend target.

Let's get the Friday office banter going!

🚨 WE HAVE A MASSIVE TARGET. WE NEED YOU TO ACT RIGHT NOW. 🚨

This Saturday, millions of people across the country will tune in to enjoy the spectacle of the Grand National.

But here is the hard truth: if we are going to enjoy watching these incredible athletes on the track, we absolutely must step up to fund their aftercare when they retire.

Our campaign goal is simple: We need to sell 1,000 tickets in our Grand National digital draw before Saturday. Our 50% charity split goes straight into funding the vital feed, vets, and rehabilitation of our rescue horses.

We cannot do this alone. We need an army.

If every single person reading this bought just ONE £5 ticket—or better yet, got their family and friends to buy FIVE—we would smash this 1,000-ticket target in a matter of hours.

Don't say "I'll do it later." Don't scroll past. Act now.

👇 The link to get your tickets is in the VERY FIRST COMMENT below. 👇

If you cannot spare a fiver today, we need you to LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE this post right now. We are fighting the Facebook algorithm, and your engagement is the only way we get this in front of more animal lovers.

Step up for the horses. Do it now. 🐎

This gorgeous boy is Bob. He arrived yesterday. Due to a change in circumstances his owner decided to send him to us so we can find him a new home. He hasn't done much for a little while, so we'll bring him back in to with and see what sort of home he'd be most suited to. He's really rather beautiful, someone is going to be very lucky. 🥰
