Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the JustGiving page in memory of John Cooksey.

Those that knew John probably know that he was much fonder of horses than flowers. So, we thought it appropriate instead of flowers at his funeral to ask for donations to New Beginnings Horses, a registered charity (1165357), that retrain and re-home former racehorses. For more information please visit: www.nbhorses.org.uk

Thank you from all the Cooksey family.

About the charity

New Beginnings Horses

RCN 1165357
New Beginnings is a registered Charity who retrain and re-home former racehorses. There are around 14,000 racehorses in training in Great Briton with approximately 4 to 5,000 leaving the sport each year. Some of the successful ones go onto stud to breed the next generation of racehorses, some go racing abroad, but due to the racehorses fantastic versatility many go onto be retrained to do dressage, showing eventing or to be a hack. But what happens to the ones that are quirky or difficult, or fall on hard times latter in life? That is where New Beginnings step in. New Beginnings take in horses straight from racing or more often they come from private post racing homes were for whatever reason the owner can no longer look after the horse. We never sell our horses, but once they are ready to be re-homed look for forever loan homes, this way we can guarantee security for the rest of the horse’s natural life. New Beginnings take in horses for the RoR through the “Vulnerable Horse Scheme” taking care of the most vulnerable former racehorses that need that extra care. We have been established for over 10 year's and have grown in both expertise and experience to offer each and every horse that comes to us the security that they need. We have come a long way starting with just a few acres to give security to a few horses to the Charity that we have evolved into.
