The suitability of retired racehorses to equestrian sports and leisure activities is on display at EQUITANA which opened at the Melbourne Showgrounds today. Retired racehorses which have made the transition into riding horses will be demonstrated throughout the course of the three-day event. From Race Horse to Riding Horse demonstrations will be held Saturday at 9.45am and Sunday at 12pm in the Epsom Arena.

Racing Victoria (RV) is committed to the welfare of thoroughbred racehorses and supports their re-training and re-homing after the conclusion of their racing career and this week launched a new website dedicated to retired racehorses.

Off The Track is an information portal showcasing the successful transition of racehorses into a life after racing and pathways for retraining and rehoming retired racehorses.
