Our Thoroughbred Interaction and Engagement programmes support a wide range of community members. New Beginnings is a registered Charity who retrain and re-home former racehorse. There are around 14,000 racehorses horses in training in Great Briton with approximately 4 to 5,000 leaving the sport each year, some of the successful ones go onto stud to breed the next generation of racehorses, some go racing abroad, but due to the racehorses fantastic versatility many go onto be retrained to do dressage, showing eventing or to be a hack. But what happens to the ones that are quirky or difficult, or fall on hard times latter in life? That is where New Beginnings step in. New Beginnings take in horses straight from racing or more often they come from private post racing homes were for whatever reason the owner can no longer look after the horse. We never sell our horses, but once they are ready to be re-homed look for forever loan homes, this way we can guarantee security for the rest of the horse’s natural life. New Beginnings take in horses for the RoR through the “Vulnerable Horse Scheme” taking care of the most vulnerable former racehorses that need that extra care. We are now in its tenth year and have grown in both expertise and experience to offer each and every horse that comes to us the security that they need. We have come a long way starting with just a few acres to give security to a few horses to the Charity that we have evolved into. We always have a waiting list of horses needing the care that we offer, but we will never turn away a horse that is in desperate need away. New Beginnings are the only centre of its kind in the North East and are very proud of our passion for former racehorse’s.
