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.

How You Can Engage

We’d love for you to join the conversation. If you’re new to this space, welcome! If you’re part of the SB family as an owner, supporter or future home-seeker you can:

  • Check regularly for updates and photos - on horses you have been following, or if you are their original owner

  • Comment and share your thoughts - your encouragement means a lot to the horses and the team

  • Share your own stories - whether you’ve re-homed a Thoroughbred or are thinking of it, your experience helps everyone

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. Our promise is a thoughtful process that aligns horse personality, home environment and future goals. We’re not simply placing horses - we’re building lasting partnerships.

Thank you for being part of the SB community. Every update shared here is a testament to commitment, transformation and new beginnings. Stay tuned for the next story, the next photo and the next success.

Together we’re giving ex-racehorses more than a second chance - we’re giving them a bright new life.
