Celebrating Off the Track Champions at the Equestrian WA Awards Night

The Off the Track WA Horse of the Year Award at the 2024 Equestrian WA Awards Night highlighted the incredible versatility and success of retired racehorses in equestrian sports. These outstanding horses, once competitors on the racetrack, have thrived in their second careers thanks to the dedication and passion of their riders.
