When an off-the-track Thoroughbred or Standardbred leaves racing, the sudden change of environment can trigger what we call New Home Syndrome — a powerful stress response that affects behaviour, health, and learning.
Too often, it’s mistaken for “bad behaviour” or a “problem horse.” But the truth is, these horses aren’t broken — they’re adapting.
In this replay, Dr Shelley Appleton and Isabelle Chandler explain:
What New Home Syndrome is and how it shows up in OTTBs & STBs
Why racehorses are especially vulnerable when leaving the structure of racing
How to help them settle, thrive, and flourish in a new life
Real case studies that reveal the difference understanding makes
