Livery of a retired racehorse is offered to all members who can demonstrate adequate riding skills and basic knowledge in stable management.
Retired racehorses are available on loan as livery horses to all members who demonstrate the required riding and stable knowledge level. Horses are produced for livery through the Retired Horse Retraining Programme. When suitable horses are available, they are advertised with a brief description of their character both in and out of the stable, current training level and experience, suggestions for their ideal type of rider and a short video demonstrating their way of going. Each application is carefully considered against the horse’s temperament and education level so potential livery owners can be matched with their best possible equine partner. The application process to become a livery holder and the allocation of horses' process is outlined here.
Once a horse has been taken on livery, there is a support mechanism in place to assist members with training and partnership building through the ‘Livery Starter Package’. The package provides three sessions (either schooling or lessons) with riders from the Retraining Unit (RTU) for the first three months of livery. The aim of the package is to help you and your horse settle into your new partnership. For further details including costs, please contact the BREC Administration Office for more details.
