As Perth Racecourse is part of the Scone Palace estate, it is highly apposite that on Thursday 21 August, Scone Palace International Horse Trials will be holding two Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) showing classes.
There is a Tattersalls Amateur Ridden RoR qualifier for the final at the 2026 Hickstead Derby meeting, and a Tattersalls RoR Scottish Open Show Series qualifier for the final at the 2026 Highland Show.
Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is British Horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing. RoR has established itself as one of the country’s pre-eminent equine charities. Greater awareness of the thoroughbred’s versatility, combined with a rise in the number of classes and competitions staged by RoR exclusively for former racehorses, has served to increase demand for the breed, thereby reducing the risk of former racehorses becoming unwanted and vulnerable.
