THE Irish Horse Welfare Trust (IHWT) has announced two exciting new ventures for former racehorses this summer.

The TB Club, an iniative of IHWT, which aims to support loaners, owners and riders for former racehorses, has teamed up with Eastern Region Dressage to introduce Welcome to Dressage for former racehorses at their upcoming shows. The class will be open to all former racehorses and a league will be run at the end of the year with prizes for all levels. Many former racehorses are suitable for re-training and dressage is a discipline that can be enjoyed by many of these horses.
