From our Southern Friends Country (Alberta Dressage Association):
" We have TIP awards again along with year end awards. We really need our OTTBs to start participating or we'll lose the sanctioning. It's a very relaxed entry level dressage show with both English and Western classes offered. Anybody can compete and the judge, Kim Cox is wonderfully supportive and appreciates OTTBs"

Go out and take your OTTBs and grab those TIP awards :)

So True, OTTBs are not a "one-size fits all" ....they are all unique and can be at different stages of develpment, recovery, retraining, and of very different aptitudes.... All looking for their next career and/or forever home/situation, and peeps :) 🥰🐎💞

Did you know???? This is a Great Resource if you want to change your OTTB's Show name or to go back to their JC Name & make sure their T.I.P. POINTS go with them.... ?

T.I.P. Program Tuesday with one of the most common questions we get! Having a change of heart about the show name you chose, want to go back to showing under your horse's registered name, or did you come up with something that fits your horse's personality better? No problem - we can update your horse's T.I.P. show name. You can even tell us why you picked the new name - there's surely some good stories behind some of these show names!😎

✨🐴 Thank You, Boehringer Ingelheim! 🐴✨

We are beyond grateful to Boehringer Ingelheim for their generous donation of vaccines for all of the horses in our program. 💉❤️ Their support helps us provide the very best care for our off-track Thoroughbreds as they transition into new careers and loving homes.

At Alberta Thoroughbred Aftercare Society, maintaining a comprehensive vaccination program is essential. Guided by our veterinarians’ recommendations, and thorough protocols at our partnered farms we ensure every horse is protected and set up for a healthy future.

Partnerships like this make a world of difference, and we couldn’t do it without the generosity of organizations who believe in aftercare. Thank you, Boehringer Ingelheim, for standing with us in our mission! 💕
