James and Sarah were thrilled to be part of the very first National Thoroughbred Week in New Zealand and what an awesome initiative it is.
The event gives people a real look behind the scenes of the racing world, offering hands-on insight into the facilities, feed, equipment, and practical skills that keep the industry ticking.
It was fun to see a few people have a crack at the mechanical horse, (it’s much harder than it looks!), and of course meeting many stunning horses who were more than happy to soak up the attention.
We loved connecting with attendees, and the teams hosting, whilst sharing a bit about who we are at OnTrack, and what we offer.
A huge thank you to Ritchie Murray Racing, Monacurragh Lodge, Kezia Murphy Racing, Champagne Racing, Jess Land Equestrian, and their teams for hosting such well-run events. It was also a pleasure spending time with Amy, Brigette, and Melaney from the NZTR Education team, always a pleasure catching up with you.
We were just sorry we could not attend all the other awesome events that were held around the motu!
Big shout-out to Jo Starr from NZ Horse Ambulance for some of the fantastic photos captured.
We are already looking forward to next year!
