Regional Clinic Sponsorship

Regional Clinic Sponsorships

Off the Track WA offer sponsorship for educational clinics hosted by regional club/organisation which provide encouraging opportunities for retired racehorses and their riders/handlers.

The sponsorship of regional clinics enables OTTWA to further support our regional off the track community members in accessing guidance and training. Successful applicants will receive a monetary contribution to the running of the clinic, as well as a 20% subsidy on the entry costs for attendees with eligible retired racehorses.

Applications are open throughout the year, with submissions required eight weeks prior to the clinic.

RWWA/OTTWA provide funding towards the operation of regional clinics to benefit off the track horses and their caretakers in their education. OTTWA acknowledges that they cannot guarantee the quality and suitability of the clinics they sponsor. This means they do not oversee whether the clinic meet specific standards or criteria beyond providing financial support. The responsibility for ensuring the effectiveness and appropriateness of the clinics lies with the hosting organisations. OTWA’s role is primarily to provide funding and resources to enhance the opportunities available for retired racehorses and their owners, creating a supportive environment for retired racehorses transitioning into new careers.
