Vulnerable horses have typically changed ownership several times since retirement from racing and in common with problems shared across the equestrian world, the horses are usually victims of a lack of resource on the part of the owner, either in terms of the time and commitment needed to care for a horse or the cost of keeping a horse.

RoR provides charitable grant funding to partner racehorse retraining and rehoming centres across Great Britain. This funding is offered in exchange for the centres taking ownership of former racehorses identified as vulnerable. These horses are fully assessed, rehabilitated, retrained, and rehomed with the financial backing of RoR. The current funding per horse is up to £8,000.
