Event Calendar
Here you find upcoming and past events hosted or joined by Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses.
Every event we engage in has the purpose to increase awareness of the cruelty in the horseracing industry, and to provide you with ways to help fight the injustices that happens to horses in the racing industry. If you have any questions about how to attend an event, or need help to organise one in your own area, please get in touch with us.
We look forward to seeing you out there standing up for the horses!
