RoR Awards

Since 2014, the RoR Awards have been the highlight of the charity’s calendar, celebrating the incredible versatility of former racehorses.
The event featured 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.
The 2026 RoR Awards
Following a memorable celebration in 2025, the RoR Awards return to Cheltenham Racecourse on Saturday, 24 January 2026, once again taking place during Festival Trials Day.
The 2025 RoR Awards, held on Saturday, 25 January, was a special occasion as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. We were honoured to be joined by RoR Patron, Zara Tindall, as we recognised the incredible achievements of former racehorses and the passionate individuals who support their lives after racing.
Join us in 2026 as we continue to celebrate the versatility and success of retrained racehorses and those who help them thrive in their second careers.
