With the latest easing of restrictions in Phase 4 by the WA Government, we have now reviewed and updated the following documents to support the gradual restart of the equestrian activities in WA.


We all want to get back to normal life as soon as possible. Ensuring our members, their friends and families remain safe and prepared is critical to achieving this.

One of the ways we can all play our part is to get the Australian Government's COVIDSafe app. While downloading the app is entirely voluntary, it has been highly recommended by both the Australian and WA Governments to assist our health professionals and help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Equestrian WA is encouraging all members to consider downloading the app to help keep our community safer.

STATE EQUESTRIAN CENTRE

29/06/2020

Dear Equestrian Western Australia members & State Equestrian Centre patrons,

We hear that there are a lot of questions that you have in regards to the State Equestrian Centre (SEC). You may have heard of the redevelopment proposal. Still, you might not have an understanding of how the centre works currently and how it may work in the future. You might have concerns about the maintenance of the property, and how it is used by riders such as yourself. You might be concerned about how the Equestrian Australia (EA) current situation affects the future of the SEC and the grounds.

Equestrian WA (EWA) is preparing a document of Frequently Asked Questions to be available shortly for all members and non-members who are interested in the future of the SEC.

If you would like to ask a question that you feel is of interest to the equestrian community to be answered, please click the link and submit your question there.

RWWA seeking re-trainers for the Off the Track WA Program

Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) will today release a tender for the provision of re-trainers to assist its Off the Track WA Retraining Program, supporting with the assessment, education and training of retired racehorses.

The Off the Track WA Retraining Program forms part of RWWA’s WA Racehorse Welfare Plan to further safeguard the wellbeing of thoroughbreds and standardbreds in the State.


The initial pilot program will recruit up to eight “Official Re-trainers”, who can meet the following scope of service:

a) The assessment, education and training of each horse supplied by RWWA, to a level where they can be sold, within the mutually agreed timeframe;
b) Provision of all daily care allocated, including feed, exercise, agistment and any other care needs;
c) Assistance with the sale process for all horses supplied for retraining by RWWA, including liaising and organising for potential buyers to view and trial the horse;
d) Provide a suitable standard of care for horses supplied by RWWA whilst in their care for retraining.

For further information and details on the full Scope of Services, please visit the Tenders WA website.

The program will be open to both thoroughbred and standardbred horses, who have been bred for the purpose of racing. Horses will be accepted into the program through a detailed application process, including veterinary checks and various acceptance criteria.

Horses accepted into the program will transition through RWWA’s Off the Track WA Estate in North Dandalup, where they will undergo a pre-assessment, prior to being allocated to an Official Re-trainer.

Anticipated time for the retraining and sale of horses is ten weeks, and will be supported by Off the Track WA marketing initiatives. Once the program reaches its capacity, a waitlist will be maintained, with horses accepted into the Estate to prepare for retraining as determined by RWWA.

In March 2020, RWWA released a tender for a re-trainer to operate from the Estate, which was withdrawn during the COVID-19 pandemic. This tender has been postponed indefinitely, with the Off the Track WA Retraining Program, which utilises several re-trainers taking precedence.

A dedicated live-in facility manager was appointed in March 2020, who is responsible for the day-to-day running and functions of the Estate.

For further information regarding RWWA’s WA Racehorse Welfare Plan, click here.

Tender Submission
Tender submissions must be lodged electronically via the Tenders WA website.

For any questions regarding the Tender please contact RWWA’s Procurement Coordinator Nikkita Jewell on 08 9445 5551 or nikkita.jewell@rwwa.com.au.
