THIS WEEKEND...

Pony Club WA have their PCWA State Tetrathlon Championships set to launch. Proudly sponsored as part of our Community Partnership with Pony Club WA, Off the Track WA look forward to following along with results from this event!

Endurance riders will be heading out to the Wheatbelt for the WERI Merredin Ride. We love to sponsor these endurance rides as they often have great opportunities for Standardbreds.

PURCHASING YOUR FIRST OTT

Looking to purchase your first retired racehorse but not sure about buying straight off the track? Purchasing a horse through a retrainer can give peace of mind that someone has assessed the horse as suitable for a new OTT home.

To purchase a horse through the OTTWA Retraining Program, submit an expression of interest to be matched with a suitable potential horse.

You can also reach out to one of several Network Retrainer's to see who they currently have available.

OFF THE TRACK VARIETY

There are so many disciplines with retired racehorse participation. From carriage driving to dressage, jumping and endurance riding, even western cattle work and more, retired Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds are not just fast paced athletes but versatile working horses capable of anything.

We love to receive photos and updates about what OTTWA Passport holders are doing in their off the track careers.
