Last year, participating horses included Bristol De Mai, Moon Race, Coneygree and Pineau de Re.
To help stimulate demand for former racehorses within the wider equestrian market, RoR annually stages over 40 separate competition series across 15 different disciplines, catering for all levels of ability, from grassroots to Elite. The disciplines include dressage, showing, polo, eventing, show jumping, endurance, hunting and horseball.
