Thoroughbreds thriving in Pony Club State Championships

Retired thoroughbred racehorses continue to excel following the Pony Clubs Association of South Australia’s (PCASA) State Championships at Monarto in June sponsored by Thorough Care SA.

A mix of 25 unraced and seasoned retired thoroughbred racehorses represented more than a quarter of the entries, and thrived in their new disciplines including; dressage, cross country and show jumping.

And PCASA’s Debbie Cook said that will continue to grow with the help of their partnership with Thorough Care SA.

“I think there are so many good retired thoroughbred racehorses out there that we’re going to see more and more of them competing,’’ Cook said.

“Especially we’re now working together to get them out there. It’s great to see horses doing something else after their racing career ends.

“From an eventing and show jumping point of view there are a lot more thoroughbreds than warm bloods competing.
