Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 29, 2020 Journalists Share Posted April 29, 2020 Haras d’Etreham will offer its support to Au-dela des Pistes, a non-profit organisation that assists with the welfare and re-homing of ex-racehorses. “The racehorses re-homing is essential in our industry and a responsibility for all of us involved,” said Haras d’Etreham General Director Nicolas de Chambure. “Overall, it is our passion and our love for horses that unite us. This is the reason why we must be aware of their lives after being the athletes of our sport. As breeder and owner, it felt natural for us to be part and support such an effort.” “It is important for Au-dela des Pistes’ organisation to be able to count on a sustainable financial support and, hopefully, it will be the case with France Galop partnership they have concluded. However, and because it is not enough, we have been thinking of an original way to support the cause.” Haras d’Etreham, which previously offered a nomination of Freshman stallion Scissor Kick (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}) during Au-dela des Pistes’ first charity auction in 2016. This season, the operation will support the charity with a Haras d’Etreham homebred, Listed Prix Omnium II winner and G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains and G1 Jockey Club contender Pisanello (Ire) (Raven’s Pass). “Every year, we will choose one of our best horses in training, of which we will donate 5% of his prizemoney,” explained de Chambure. “This year, it will be our great 3-year-old Pisanello and we would like to thank the co-owners Steve Burggraf and Marc de Chambure to be part of the donation.” Au-dela Board Member Alix Choppin added, “Financial needs of Au-dela des Pistes charity will, unfortunately, increase this year with these unprecedented circumstances. The charity will need more support than ever. France Galop has to reduce their donation and we will probably have less donations from the racing world being impacted financially themselves. Nevertheless, injured and retired horses will still need help. Re-homing stables will face the same challenges without any income for the last two months.” The post Haras d’Etreham Bolsters Support of Au-dela des Pistes appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
