To date, RoR has made a real difference to the lives of many thousands of former racehorses and funds raised at the RoR Racing to Cricket day will help towards the development of activities which support the charity's vision 'For all former racehorses to enjoy a good life'.
“We are so grateful for the generosity and support of donors, who have given RoR these wonderful auction lots, as well as individuals and businesses who are supporting the day and raising valuable funds for the charity.”
