Haras d'Etreham Bolsters Support of Au-dela des Pistes

Haras d'Etreham will offer its support to Au-dela des Pistes, a non-profit organisation that assists with the welfare and re-homing of ex-racehorses.

“Racehorse re-homing is essential in our industry and a responsibility for all of us involved,” said Haras d'Etreham General Director Nicolas de Chambure. “Overall, it is our passion and our love for horses that unites us. This is the reason why we must be aware of their lives after they serve us as the athletes of our sport. As a breeder and owner, it felt natural for us to be part of and to support such an effort.”

Haras d'Etreham will each season choose a horse from its racing stable and donate 5% of its prizemoney to Au-dela des Pistes. First up is the Listed Prix Omnium II winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains and G1 Jockey Club contender Pisanello (Ire) (Raven's Pass), which Etreham owns in partnership.

Au-dela Board Member Alix Choppin added, “Financial needs of Au-dela des Pistes charity will, unfortunately, increase this year with these unprecedented circumstances. The charity will need more support than ever. France Galop has to reduce their donation and we will probably have less donations from the racing world being impacted financially themselves. Nevertheless, injured and retired horses will still need help. Re-homing stables will face the same challenges without any income for the last two months.”
