ACADEMY
Owning and retraining an ex-racehorse is exciting and with every riding day you’ll discover a new challenge. Training – delivered with time and patience – will be well rewarded as this breed is one that aims to please. A breed that is strong, brave and intelligent – adapting quickly to new experiences.
Once allowed time to settle and recover from the rigours of a racing yard, racehorses are usually able to enjoy life in an ordinary environment, amongst a herd, grazing and behaving like any ordinary horse. Some may have picked up habits, but these are usually managed easily and often cease within a new environment.
The Treo Eile Academy is here to support owners of ex-racehorses. Over the coming months we will be introducing an incentive scheme to reward the best ex-racehorse within various leagues across the country. From dressage to showjumping, look for the Treo Eile badge to have a chance to compete for these extra prizes. Be sure to register your racehorse here to be eligible for prizes – it’s FREE for 2021.
For every prize collected, points will be awarded and the leading thoroughbred in each division at the end of 2021 will also be awarded a bursary to be used for either training/rehab/kit.
We will also be conducting racehorse retraining clinics throughout Ireland so watch this space or check our social channels.
Racehorses can be trained to work across a range of disciplines. For an overview of the most common, please click the icons here. Treo Eile has appointed a representative to advise on the various routes one can take to make the most of the competitions available.

Working within a new team, alongside the horses has taught me respect and patience for others and myself. I’m now 100% determined to turn my life around so that it is more positive. I’m taking methods learnt with horses such as stillness and calmness and using them to improve my life.
