A NEW matchmaking tool to help racehorse trainers and owners who wish to rehome and retrain their racehorses after their racing career ends has been set up by Sarah Sands and Caoimhe Doherty.

The new online platform, Treo Eile, will connect racehorse owners with new owners, support ex-racehorses with prizes specifically aimed at them across the Irish equine event calendar in disciplines including show jumping, dressage and eventing, promote the versatility of the ex-racehorse through an awareness campaign and create a database where horses leaving training can be recorded.
