Sponsor a horse and help Racehorse Rescue Centre meet the ongoing needs of vulnerable and retired racehorses. For example, some horses and ponies remain with RRC for an extended period and rely on public support for their care. In addition, more than one person may sponsor the same horse, allowing supporters to share in helping that horse and the wider charity.
Therefore, please consider sponsoring one of the horses listed below. RRC retains ownership of its horses. However, if a new home suits the horse or its circumstances change, your sponsorship may support other horses in the charity’s care and help us continue monitoring rehomed horses.
How to sponsor a horse
To become a sponsor:
- First, choose the horse you would like to sponsor from the profiles below.
- Next, select the JustGiving button shown with the horse.
- Then, choose the amount you would like to donate each month.
- Finally, adjust the amount if needed before confirming the payment.
Therefore, choose a monthly amount that you can comfortably afford.
If you are an eligible UK taxpayer, you may also complete a Gift Aid form.
Sponsor Frosty
For example, Frosty is a 16.3hh mare who came to RRC in 2012. In addition, she takes part in suitable supervised activities and helps people learn about horses.
Sponsor Peak
Meanwhile, Peak was born in New Zealand and retired from a successful UK racing career in 2005. Afterwards, he enjoyed local shows and hacking. When his owner became too ill to care for him, RRC offered a home. Today, Peak acts as an ambassador for the charity.
Sponsor Buddy
In addition, Buddy is a 16.1hh Thoroughbred gelding with a calm temperament. Previously, he raced on the flat and also tried hurdles. At RRC, he takes part in suitable supervised activities that introduce people to horses.
Sponsor Prince
After rescue, Prince needed patient handling and time to settle. In addition, supporters helped RRC bring the chestnut horse to safety. Therefore, he now lives at the Centre and may take part in suitable equine-assisted activities.
Sponsor Ted
Because of ongoing hoof issues, Teddy needs long-term care from the charity. However, he has a gentle nature and enjoys attention from people he knows.
Sponsor Woody
Similarly, Woody is a Falabella pony who arrived overweight. As a result, movement in the paddock helped him improve his condition, and he enjoys spending time with the larger horses.
Sponsor Switch
Previously known as Switcharooney, Switch raced for Wayne Rooney. Therefore, RRC took him in when he needed treatment for a serious keratoma.
Sponsor Lord
Finally, Lord arrived with tendon injuries in both front legs. As a result, the team supported his recovery with appropriate rest, careful monitoring and one-to-one handling.
