Business profile
The Darley Thoroughbred Rehoming scheme operates from Badlingham Manor Stud on the outskirts of Newmarket, rehoming geldings only, most of whom have raced but there are others who have simply not made the grade.On arrival at Badlingham, the horses are given a minimum of two months turnout to allow them to wind down and socialise with other horses. This time can be extended to as much as six months if the horse is recovering from an injury.Then the training begins teaching the horses to stand at the mounting block, tie up outside the stable, lots of basic handling as well as schooling them and ensuring they are good to hack out in company and alone. For those who can go on to jump, they do pole work and start jumping.
