Equine safety & welfare: British horse racing’s hub dedicated to the Thoroughbred racehorse is https://horsepwr.co.uk/
The site is designed to open the doors to the sport and talk about the Thoroughbred horse – their purpose, the lives they lead, and the high welfare and safety standards that underpin British racing. We want to provide facts, educate, and confront the tough questions head on. The facts matter. Why? Because we understand our responsibility for our horses.
