NZTR has introduced additional health requirements for all horses accepted to race or trial as part of the industry's response to the current Strangles situation.
Now that winter is here, New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing and the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders' Association are encouraging all industry participants to remain vigilant for signs of Strangles and to maintain good biosecurity practices.
NZTR has today released its new Thoroughbred Welfare Strategy, Together for the Thoroughbred, setting a clear, whole of industry approach to delivering high standards of care for horses across their entire lives.
Our spring edition of the Welfare Advocate is another celebration of our wonderfully versatile thoroughbreds and the people who dedicate themselves to giving them a purposeful and successful life after racing.
