BSR Equestrian prides itself on treating every new equine arrival as an individual. This means that each horse’s temperament and abilities are taken into consideration, and the team understands that some horses will adapt to their new environment more easily than others.
The retraining process is carefully planned, and it is taken one step at a time. The primary goal is to wipe the slate clean and start again, ensuring that each horse is given the best possible chance to succeed in their new career.
The team at BSR Equestrian understands that every horse has unique potential, and they work diligently to assess each animal’s suitability for a new career. For some, age or previous injuries may prevent them from being suitable for ridden work, and they will either remain at the centre or be rehomed as a companion.
For those horses that can be ridden, the team takes a patient approach to bring them along quietly. This often involves long reining around the farm, which helps the horse gain more confidence in their ability to move forward on their own. This is a sharp contrast to their past racing careers, where they may have been pushed to their limits to achieve maximum speed and performance.
The process of retraining retired racehorses requires a great deal of patience and understanding. The team at BSR Equestrian are committed to providing each horse with the individualised care they need to thrive in their new career. By taking the time to assess each horse’s abilities and temperament and adapting the training process accordingly, BSR is helping to ensure that these beautiful animals are given the second chance they deserve.
In conclusion, the team at BSR Equestrian understands the importance of treating each horse as an individual. The retraining process is taken one step at a time, ensuring that every horse is given the best possible chance to succeed in their new career. By assessing each horse’s suitability and adapting the training process accordingly, BSR is helping to provide these beautiful animals with a second chance at a happy and fulfilling life.
