Off The Track Sponsorship
Since 2014, Off The Track (OTT) has been an integral part of promoting thoroughbred and standardbred’s in their second careers as pleasure and performance horses. As part of this, OTT offers sponsorship opportunities for equestrian events with a high number of off the track horses competing or individuals who are riding a retired racehorse at an elite level.
