We went to Burghley on a whim and came second to qualify for today, and then to Addington before heading here to HOYS.Tori has transformed himThe 14-year-old bay gelding Wonga Swinger won and was placed over fences during his racing career. He was trained by Toris husband, the 2008 Gold Cup-winning jockey, Sam Thomas.Wonga wasnt enjoying the racing so my husband let me have him to go hunting. My mum and auntie have always been into showing so we decided to give it a go. Hes the first horse Ive really done showing with, added Tori.Sam added that his wife has absolutely transformed the horse.Wonga Swinger wasnt very successful for me, Tori has absolutely transformed him, he said. The way she has turned him around since he finished racing is amazing.Purpose after racingThe SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse championship was set up to give horses a second career following their racing days, and 14 ex-racehorses contested the championships.All the horses in the championship looked stunning and behaved impeccably, they are truly a testament to their owners and riders, said series organiser Nicolina MacKenzie.We had horses from a Cheltenham Gold Cup and Lincoln Handicap winner through to those that have barely finished a point-to-point here today.We are delighted to be in the position to give these stunning horses a purpose after racing.View images of the full list of finalists in the SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse seriesSEIB also hosts the popular Search for a Star Championships, which will take place at Your Horse Live on Friday 8 November.Main image of Wonga Swinger supplied by 1st Class ImagesRelated contentLook whats on at Your Horse LiveFabulous Thoroughbreds to line up for the SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse Final at HOYSGold Cup winning horse qualifies for HOYS in SEIB Search for a StarHow to introduce hacking to an ex-racehorseUltimate guide to horse health insurance and vet fees coverThe post New mum rides to glory in SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse final at HOYS appeared first on Your Horse.

Gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh has appealed for Europe to stop the live export of horses for slaughter.In a personal message through World Horse Welfare, the equine charity of which he is a supporter, Alan condemns the movement of horses through Europe to slaughterhouses and asks for the public to join World Horse Welfares Stamp Out Suffering appeal.Its incredibly distressing to know that right now, in 2024, these beautiful and gentle animals are still enduring horrific and inhumane treatment, he said in the message.I was heartened to hear that thanks to much pressure from you and your fellow supporters, the UK has now banned the live export of horses to slaughter.But sadly, its still perfectly legal for horses to be subjected to days-long journeys across Europe to slaughter meaning many horses final days will be filled with terror and exhaustion, continued Alan.And here in the UK, smugglers are already ignoring the laws trafficking horses out of the UK in abhorrent conditions, to an unknown fate.Stamp Out SufferingThe World Horse Welfares Stamp Out Suffering appeal is a three-step plan aimed at ending the suffering of transported horses for good.Step one is pushing for an end to cruelly long journeys to slaughter; step two is gathering evidence to help the authorities bring smugglers to justice; step three is rehabilitating and rehoming horses that have been rescued from appalling conditions.In May, Your Horse reported how the UK had become the first European country to ban the live export of horses for slaughter.The Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Act 2024, which came into law on 20 May 2024, makes it an offence to export livestock and horses from or through Great Britain for slaughter and fattening.Horses (and other animals) being exported for slaughter endure gruelling, long journeys in appalling conditions. They often travel for days and weeks in extreme temperatures in cramped facilities without access to food and water.Europe is the largest exporter of live animals.To find out more information about how you can support World Horse Welfares Stamp Out Suffering appeal, click here.Main image of Alan Titchmarsh ShutterstockRelated contentUK bans live export of horses for slaughterDestined for slaughter or a worse fate: Animation highlights brutal horse smuggling tradePonies rescued from being smuggled abroad are ready for rehomingBirth of first foal from smuggled horses rescued by World Horse WelfareWorld Horse Welfare chief awarded OBEThe post Alan Titchmarsh calls for European ban of live export of horses for slaughter appeared first on Your Horse.
