Beyond the Track

“A sigh of relief for anyone who cares about equine rescue, particularly off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) looking for a second career.” —Horsemen’s Yankee Pedlar

Renowned for their amazing athleticism and unparalleled work ethic and famed for their great heart and willingness to go the extra mile, off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) have proven to be the ultimate equine partner in a host of disciplines: dressage, eventing, hunter/jumpers, trail riding—even barrel racing!

Now discover all you need to know to find the right OTTB and give them the solid educational foundation they need to excel in a new career, whether as a highly trained competitor, pleasure mount, or companion animal.

“The book could also be called OTTB Training for Dummies or OTTB Training A–Z. I consider this book the ultimate in training manuals for anyone thinking about adopting an ex-racehorse. Anna Ford is uniquely qualified to be the author of this book, which reads easily and covers every important detail of transitioning a horse from the racetrack to his next career.” —Liz Harris, Executive Director, Thoroughbred Charities of America

“Large color photos and step-by-step instructions make this manual a must-have for anyone thinking about adopting a thoroughbred off the track.” —Horse Illustrated

“Far superior to any other published material available on the subject of off-the-track thoroughbreds . . . I highly recommend that every trainer keep a copy on hand . . . to give out or to recommend with each horse that leaves the track.” —Washington Thoroughbred
