Racehorse Rescue Centre
We have been rescuing racehorses for over 25 years, our first being Pistol Pukka aka Jojo who
won the White Swan Hurdle and from the yard of Gavin
Pritchard-Gordon. We set up in January 2011 as a small
charity after a year of being involved in the
world of racing and seeing a need for a rescue centre in
the North. We started to rescue racehorses in Cumbria and
the Borders and are now taking calls from
all over the UK. We will take other horses in need when we have
space. Our centre here handles all calls and horses come
here to be Vet checked and assessed, retrained then go on to foster
homes and grazing land that is donated to us. They stay
in the ownership of RRC for the rest of their lives.
Please visit their website and make a donation now!

Racehorse Rehoming
A rehabilitation Centre, dedicated to the future well being of the ex-racehorse. The slower more relaxed pace of country life has a wonderful effect of calming even the most highly strung athlete. There are many trainers and owners who are deeply concerned for the future of these horses, that have served them well over the years.
Nashwan Links is proud to have made a recent donation to this more than worthy cause, and we urge you to do the same!

Middleham Park Racing
Northern

this time around!

November/December 2000
Racetips365
The
only bad thing about racetips365 is its name, inappropriate for what is
an attractive information and advertising site. Lively opinion, full daily news
updates and stimulating, well-written features make this a most valuable
alternative to the establishment sites

Edward Dunlop
Ed

with full listing and photos of his string, search facility, pleasant
multimedia and full contact information - a real thoroughbred

winner
