We work with our regional partners to support Godolphin-owned thoroughbred horses as they move on to a life after racing.

Not every thoroughbred is destined to become a top class racehorse and racing careers can be short, even for successful horses. With this in mind, Godolphin Rehoming is working to support thoroughbreds as they move on to a life after racing.

How Godolphin rehoming works

Following retirement from the track, our thoroughbreds return to one of our farms in Hokkaido where they receive any necessary treatment and are given ample turnout. After plenty of rest and time to unwind, the horses are gifted to good homes where they will be cherished and well looked after.
