Summary

Every year, thousands of horses are retired from the track. By and large, these are healthy, fit horses that remain sound in body and mind and can be retrained to become wonderful dressage horses, hunters, or pleasure mounts. This comprehensive guide gives horse owners advice on a wide range of subjects, from therapies for rehabilitating injured racehorses, to establishing welcoming environments and training regimens, making the transitioning process from racehorse to riding horse trouble-free.
