Regional Clinic Sponsorship

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.

While RWWA/OTTWA provides funding towards the operation of the clinics, it has no role to play in their operation and while striving to provide the best resources for off the track horses and caretakers, cannot guarantee the quality and suitability of the sponsored clinics.
