Transition Programs for Racehorses

Transition programs for racehorses are structured efforts to carefully reintroduce them to regular work after their racing careers. These programs focus on gradually rebuilding strength, endurance, and confidence through tailored training and veterinary care. The goal is to ensure the horse’s well-being and safety as they adjust to a new routine, whether that involves continuing as a riding horse, breeding, or retirement. By providing ongoing support, transition programs help prevent injury, promote mental health, and facilitate a smooth shift from high-performance racing to a more relaxed and comfortable lifestyle.
