13.01.2022 The Minister for Racing, Jane Howlett - Liberal Member for Prosser, today announced a new equine welfare initiative. The "Subsidised Lessons Program" is an initiative to support retired racehorses as they transition from the racing industry into the community. Approved applicants are eligible for ten (10) individual lessons of up to 60 minutes in duration with a Tasracing Approved Coach. ... The program will enable new owners of retired racehorses to receive tailored support across a range of areas including horse care and husbandry, nutrition, behaviour, groundwork and ridden components.

12.01.2022 Aventador is looking for a new home! Thoroughbred 10 years old (turning 11) Chestnut gelding... 16.3 hands Located in Flowery Gully (near Beaconsfield) Aventador's carer has provided the following description: Needs an experienced, capable and confident handler/rider. NO BEGINNERS or NERVOUS Riders. Experience with retraining OTT an advantage. Retired from racing a little over 12 months ago and hasn't done anything since. Has had a tendon injury in the past, so for this reason, Aventador is not suited to a highly competitive home but would suit someone with a solid horsemanship, ground control background, who wants to help a horse find his brave and potentially, down the track, do some low level dressage, clinics, adult riding etc or even just liberty style work and/or companion. Can be tricky to catch and bit full of himself but certainly not nasty. Paddocks well with others, prefers a friend nearby or sharing the same paddock. Good to trim feet, worm, rug. Has not been ridden or floated in over 12 months. Arrived by truck. Ideally looking for a person to give him all the attention he needs to build trust and confidence, from which I believe he would give you his all. Needs a knowledgeable horse person to give him understanding and guidance. Best of homes only. References required. Photos of condition, as at 18th June, on one hard feed per day, paddocked and grass hay only. For more information, please contact: Sarah Lockyer (carer) - 0408 567 696 Wayne Dobson (owner) - 0418 120 912
