Open your gates and open hearts, become a host for National Thoroughbred Week!
We’re calling on trainers, breeders, aftercare farms and equine facilities across Australia and New Zealand to join this movement. If you have Thoroughbreds in your care, you have a story to tell. Show your world to the public for a day, and enjoy the rewards of connecting with your community in a whole new way.
Why host an event?
Here’s what’s in it for you:
Build trust & goodwill: Welcome locals onto your property and let them see the exceptional care and professionalism behind the scenes. There’s no better way to show the heart you put into your horses every day.
Find new fans: That wide-eyed kid watching morning trackwork or patting a horse for the first time might be tomorrow’s number-one fan. Hosting is a fantastic way to spark new interest and grow your following.
Show off your team: Give your staff a chance to shine. From the stablehands to the jockeys, your team works hard and they’re proud of what they do. An open day lets them share their passion and be appreciated by an audience.
Join a national movement: By hosting, you’re part of a bigger story, a nation-wide, industry-wide initiative to celebrate Thoroughbreds. You’ll be showcasing not just your own operation, but the collective pride of our community.
Don’t have a site to host? You can still be part of it.
Not everyone has a farm or stable to open but there are plenty of other ways to get involved. You can volunteer, sponsor or help us spread the word in your community. Whether you’re keen to lend a hand, support the event financially, or offer resources, we’d love to hear from you.
