What to expect

Welcome to HEROS Charity based at North Farm Stud. HEROS has rehomed over 500 ex-racehorses since Grace started the charity in 2006. HEROS has now branched out, providing education to a variety of students using horses, including ex-racehorses. We hope you enjoy visiting us, meeting our horses and students and seeing how adaptable ex-racehorses are to ‘a life after racing’

There will be a catering van on site, which will serve refreshments including hot and cold drinks, sweet treats and lunch options.
