We are continuously working towards creating and improving opportunities for thoroughbreds that are bred for the purpose of racing, and the owners and riders who play their part in supporting these equine athletes in their next careers.
Our Event Sponsorship Program has been created to support the Associations, and Organisations who host Events, Series, or Awards that provide competition and education opportunities for all levels of Bred-to-Race thoroughbred and rider combinations, across an array disciplines.
With a vision to increase the visibility of their second careers, stimulate the demand, and show case the versatility of Bred-to-Race thoroughbreds. we are committed to the long-term welfare our horses, from birth, during their racing careers, their second careers, and on to retirement.
