The MVRC fully supports the Racing Victoria Equine Welfare Strategy
Established in 2012, the Off The Track program aims to facilitate the placement of retired thoroughbred racehorses in second careers by promoting the network of Racing Victoria Acknowledged Retrainers across the state, driving demand for the breed as performance and pleasure horses and educating the community about the various life after racing options, versatility of use, and the appropriate care and retraining of the thoroughbred.
OFF THE TRACK - RACING VICTORIA
If you’re a racehorse owner wanting to have your horse retrained or if you’re an equestrian rider looking to purchase a retired racehorse there are retrainers all over Victoria.
If you have any concerns regarding the welfare of thoroughbred racehorses in Victoria please contact the Racing Victoria Equine Welfare Department via phone on 1300 139 401.
The Racing Victoria veterinary team supports the Integrity Services in maintaining the integrity, quality and safety of the racing industry.
