Thoroughbred Health Network launches
Race horse
The Thoroughbred Health Network is a pilot project for Scotland and Northern England, which if successful will extend nationwide.
Project to optimise the health and welfare of the racehorse

A new initiative has been launched which aims to optimise the health and welfare of the racehorse.

A collaborative effort of industry stakeholders, The Thoroughbred Health Network is a pilot project for Scotland and Northern England, which if successful will extend nationwide.

Each month the Network will provide subscribers with advice on how to avoid, recognise or treat the most common and performance-limiting problems encountered by thoroughbreds in racing and training.

The project also aims to establish a network of trainers, racecourse officials, vets, racehorse owners, welfare organisations and universities whose common goal is to minimise the impact of injury and disease in the racehorse.

For more information and to subscribe to the Network free of charge, visit www.thoroughbredhealthnetwork.co.uk
