Our Successful Journey
Since our founding 14 years ago as the Gloucestershire Thoroughbred Agency, we have experienced significant growth, culminating in our establishment as the British Thoroughbred Agency in 2020.
Now, we are delighted to introduce you to Beyond the Track. This rebranding marks a pivotal moment in our journey, as we transition and embark on an exciting new adventure that includes a significant restructure within our organisation.
As part of this restructure, we are thrilled to announce the involvement of prominent figures and corporate partners who share our passion for equine welfare. Their support and expertise will enable us to amplify our impact and reach new heights in our mission to support retired racehorses and facilitate their successful transition to new careers.
The decision to evolve aligns with our commitment to equine welfare and strategically positions us to expand our scope and deepen our impact within the community of retired racehorses.
At Beyond the Track, our core values remain steadfast. We are dedicated to providing retired racehorses with the care, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive beyond the racetrack. Through rehabilitation, retraining, and rehoming initiatives, we empower these magnificent animals to embark on fulfilling second careers.
Our transformation into Beyond the Track represents a bold step forward in our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of retired racehorses. We are deeply grateful for your continued support as we embark on this exciting new chapter, and we invite you to join us in our mission to create a brighter future for these incredible animals.
By supporting us, you play a vital role in promoting the welfare of retired racehorses and sustaining our ex-racehorse programmes.
Rehoming
We approach every rehoming process with meticulous care, expert knowledge, and a robust network of committed families and equestrian enthusiasts.
Our Mission
Beyond the Track is dedicated to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of retired racehorses, ensuring their successful transition to loving forever homes. Through our programmes and initiatives, we aim to raise awareness about the value of ex-racehorses and contribute positively to the equine industry.
BTT facilitates the safe rehoming of ex-racehorses directly from the track, racehorse trainers, and thoroughbred stud farms. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive programmes and support to new ex-racehorse owners and homes, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources needed for responsible ownership. Additionally, we actively support rehabilitation and retraining yards that collaborate with us, fostering a community-driven approach to the care and well-being of these remarkable athletes. Through our efforts, we aim to create a brighter future for retired racehorses, promoting their successful transition into post-racing life while enriching the lives of both horses and their new owners and families.
