The Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) Awards will take place during Festival Trials Day at Cheltenham Racecourse on Saturday, January 25.
The event features two prestigious awards–The Jockey Club Horse of the Year Award and The Peter O'Sullevan Community Impact Award–along with recognition for winners of the RoR Elite Series across six equestrian disciplines (dressage, endurance, eventing, polo, showing and showjumping).
Nominations for this year's awards were submitted from across the racing and equestrian communities, with an independent judging panel selecting the finalists. The winners will be announced at the RoR Awards, which will be opened by RoR patron Zara Tindall.
“I am thrilled to be attending the RoR Awards 2025,” said Tindall. “The charity's tireless commitment to supporting the retraining and wellbeing of retired racehorses reflects my passion for these incredible animals. I look forward to celebrating the achievements made over the past 25 years and to helping RoR continue making a positive impact across the racing and equine communities.”
Public voting to help decide the winners closes at 5pm on Friday, January 10. For information on the finalists and to vote, click here.
