Understanding the Retraining Timeline – Tonight at 7PM

Wednesday 17th September, 7.00–8.30pm | Online Event
Tonight’s edition of the Chewing the (Non) Fat webinar series will tackle one of the most common questions in the world of ex-racehorses:
“Why is my horse taking so long to retrain?”
This evening’s session, titled “Retraining Focus: Understanding the Retraining Timeline,” is a must for anyone retraining or considering retraining a Thoroughbred. It offers practical insight into how horses transition from racing to new disciplines and why that process is never linear.
What You’ll Learn
This session explores:
- Why no two horses follow the same retraining path
- The many factors influencing progress, including age, condition, conformation, and temperament
- How to set realistic expectations based on physical and mental readiness
- What to watch for when it feels like progress is “too slow”
This is an opportunity to build deeper understanding, reduce unnecessary pressure, and gain clarity around what a horse may be telling you during their post-racing journey.
