The Subsidised Lessons Program is an initiative to support retired racehorses as they transition from the racing industry into the community.
Approved applicants are eligible for ten (10) individual lessons of up to 60 minutes in duration with a Tasracing Approved Coach.
The program will enable new owners of retired racehorses to receive tailored support across a range of areas including horse care and husbandry, nutrition, behaviour, groundwork and ridden components.
The program operates through a voucher system, with approved applicants issued vouchers to cover the cost of lessons.
Please allow 14 days for your application to be processed.
