OFF THE TRACK STORIES
We invite you to share the journey of your retired racehorse as they transition from the racetrack to a new life as a performance, pleasure, or companion horse. By submitting their story, you'll not only celebrate their achievements but also inspire others in the off the track community!
To celebrate the wonderful lives of retired racehorses, Off the Track WA have compiled a booklet of stories shared.
To be featured in future editions of this booklet, submit off-the-track stories below!
