The Midland Racehorse Care Centre 

We're based in Shrophsire, Ludlow and are a registered charity 1115226 - the first charity of its kind in the Midlands dedicated to the welfare of ex-racehorses. We take in horses, that have given the best years of their life to racing, and retrain and rehome them. Here ex-racehorses are still winners! We are always here to offer advice or to help Thoroughbreds that are out on a limb.
