A new international forum designed to bring together the official and national operations based around the world that facilitate and promote the retraining of racehorses has been formally unveiled at the “Lifetime Care for Thoroughbreds: Godolphin Forum” in Newmarket, United Kingdom.

The International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses (IFAR) will include representatives from Australia, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, and the United States.

Di Arbuthnot, chief executive of the British equine charity Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), introduced the concept for IFAR on the final day of a three-day conference organized and hosted by Godolphin.

In recent years a number of initiatives in various international regions have been successful in promoting the versatility of racehorses and their ability to adapt to alternative careers after racing. The establishment of an international forum will enable these experiences to be shared, for best practices to be adopted and for advice to be given to all racing jurisdictions regarding caring for and the retraining of former racehorses
