HEROS (Homing Ex-Racehorses Organisation Scheme)

The idea for HEROS began in the early 1990s, when owners and trainers asked Grace Muir, whilst working as Stud Manager at North Farm Stud near Wantage, to re-home their racehorses

With a lifetime’s experience of horses, knowledge of racing, plus a range of excellent contacts, Grace knew there was scope to give these horses a second chance – with a new career

Since she started re-homing racehorses, with the support of her parents Ian and Agnes Muir, Grace and her team have successfully re-homed over 450 ex-racehorses

Grace has an excellent reputation for re-training and re-homing ex-racehorses

Every new recruit to HEROS is assessed by Grace personally before being ridden by one of the experienced, fully trained staff after which a plan for re-schooling is developed.

HEROS aims to carefully match every horse with its new owner at all levels from novice to advanced
