The British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre

My daughter bought a voucher for a tour of the BTRC as a gift and it was an amazing memorable experience. Lauren was an excellent guide and explained the whole process of racehorse rehabilitation. The work that the centre does is incredibly important and a worthy cause to support for all horse lovers. We met many of the current equine residents and watched some schooling going on. We highly recommend buying a voucher for a tour.

Having completed three weeks of work experience at the BTRC, I recommend them without doubt to any students wanting to gain insight into Thoroughbred welfare, rehabilitation and retraining, as well as to those looking to adopt a horse. All staff are friendly and helpful and have extensive professional knowledge. They go above and beyond to ensure all the horses under their care have the best possible outcome, which is clearly their top priority.

I had a horse (Charlie) from here years and years ago. They were brilliant and the horses welfare was the top priority as it should be.

Having supported the fabulous BTRC for twenty years I can only say it is the best. Not only have I had one horse of a lifetime from them but I have had two. They stayed with me in their forever homes and I couldn't ever thank the BTRC enough for the joy they have brought me. The best matchmakers in the business.

This is the most amazing charity. I wanted a second horse to keep my other horse company. I wanted a horse I could hack out, but not a novice ride. I wanted a horse under 12 years old and preferably under 16 hh and I did not want to spend a fortune on a horse that may not suit me or my needs. My friend suggested I contact BTRC which I did and so happy I took her advice. I now have the most wonderful Maggie who has been with me since September 2017. And I would not change her for the world. BTRC had the perfect horse for me and have continued supporting us.
