In the heart of every equestrian beats the love for not just the sport but also the noble steeds that make it all possible. At Take My Tack, we’re not just about the finest tack for horses; we’re about the lifelong happiness and welfare of every horse. The British racing scene is stepping up its game with innovative strategies to track the lives of horses after their racing days are over, and we’re here for it!
The New Track
Imagine a world where no horse slips through the cracks, where every gallop and nuzzle is accounted for beyond the finish line. That’s the future the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) are crafting. With a robust system in the works, we’re talking about simplified processes and hard rules to guarantee the welfare of these majestic creatures.
A Different Reality
Horrific scenes from an Australian documentary made the rounds, shedding light on equine wastage. But that’s not our story. Here in the UK, we’re committed to a different standard, one where the aftercare and infrastructure for our racehorses are as strong and mature as our love for them.
A Life Beyond the Track
Each year, around 7,000 equine athletes retire from the racecourse. What happens next? It’s a question that’s getting a brilliant answer. With initiatives like mandatory registration of foal births within 30 days and the British racing’s Horse Welfare Board’s endeavours, we’re looking at a transformation in equine care.
The Date Bridge
Picture this: a seamless flow of information from the racing world to the RoR database, ensuring every horse’s second act in life is as celebrated as their first. It’s not just a plan; it’s a priority. And with nearly 6,800 horses already thriving in their new roles, from dressage to eventing, the proof is in the pudding.
The Support Net
Thanks to the RoR’s welfare safety net, horses that may have once faced uncertain futures are now greeted with open arms and hearts, ready to fund and care for their every need. And with the BHA’s commitment to transparency and traceability, we’re setting the bar high for horse welfare.
The Public Trust
We stand at the forefront, ready to showcase our accountability to the public. The racehorse, whether in its prime or in the golden years of retirement, is a reflection of our values. With stringent regulations, such as mandatory CCTV in English abattoirs, we ensure the dignity and protection of these animals at every stage.
At Take My Tack, we’re not just about providing the best tack horse lovers can find; we’re about championing the cause of every horse. We invite you to join us in this movement. Let’s be the voice for our horses, ensuring they enjoy the love and respect they deserve, racecourse or not.
Reach out to us, share your stories, and become a part of this noble endeavour. Because at Take My Tack, we believe in a future where every horse is cherished, every day.
