Meet Laurel Star

Laurel Star's time in our care has been supported by Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), the official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing. Laurel has a beautiful temperament and a very kind nature. She is a polite mare who is generally good to handle. She has always been well behaved for the vet and farrier and seems to take most things in her stride. Laurel is a friendly horse who socialises well with others in her herd and doesn't cause any trouble. Laurel is not suitable to ride but she deserves to find a forever home with like minded companions where she can just enjoy retirement.

Important stuff

This horse is based at Hall Farm, where we’ve been managing a strangles outbreak in some of our horses. They have been screened using guttural pouch lavage (the gold standard test), completed a full course of strangles vaccinations, and spent time in quarantine in a green zone paddock. They are now available for rehoming as part of our phased return to normal activities.

Laurel Star can never be ridden or driven.

All equines in our centres are regularly assessed by a team of experts including a vet, physiotherapist and farrier, and these assessments have found that Laurel Star is not suitable to be worked.

History

Laurel Star came into our care as a welfare concern. Her time in our care has been supported by Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), the official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing.
