SB Updates FB Page
We’re delighted to invite you to the Updates Page for SB Racehorse Rehoming - a place where every transition, big or small, is celebrated and shared. Our mission at SB is to provide ex-racehorses with the care, retraining and support they need to flourish in their next chapter. Through this page, we’ll keep you connected with the journey from track to new home, highlight success stories, training insights and the hearts behind the halters.
Why This Page Matters
Ex-racehorses often arrive with impressive athletic backgrounds, raw potential and individual personalities waiting to unfold. At SB, they aren’t simply “re-homed”; they’re seen, supported and matched thoughtfully to their forever homes. According to our page, one of the biggest surprises new homes share is how much personality these horses have - “quirky, cheeky” and full of character.
We believe in transparency, connection and shared joy. By showcasing updates, photos and stories we aim to keep you informed, inspired and part of the SB community.

The Journey of a Horse at SB
When a Thoroughbred arrives, our first priority is their comfort and safety. We allow them time to adjust to new surroundings, new routines and a fresh herd dynamic. At SB we know that change demands patience and a nurturing environment. Next comes genuinely getting to know them - their personality, what excites them, what might need gentle reassurance. We then assess and begin retraining, helping them move from life as a racehorse to the possibilities ahead. Finally we match them to a home that suits their character and potential, believing that the right home creates longevity, happiness and partnership.
Why Retraining Matters
The world beyond the track is full of opportunity for these horses, but they need the right groundwork and transitions. Retraining helps them build new physical strength, mental clarity and a bond with their handler. This is not just nice to have - it’s essential for setting them up for success and avoiding mismatches that lead to stress, confusion or re-homing difficulties.

A Message to Future Homes
If you’re considering opening your heart and home to an ex-racehorse, know this - it’s a journey not just for the horse but for you. The reward is profound - to watch a horse transform from the track, step into new work and shine. We’ll support you every step of the way.
