A Guide For Future and Present OTTB Owners edited by Trish Hechter Bosley
This is a work in progress and I am encouraging you to contact me with your questions so I can add and modify the contents of this online book. I plan to do my best to make this as comprehensive a resource as possible. I'm also hoping that those of you with experience in retraining ottb's will help me with your knowledge and experiences. There are so many misconceptions about how thoroughbreds are handled and trained at the track. Misinformation is the cause. I plan to correct these misconceptions by explaining the behaviors of an ottb that are a result of their race training and environment.
Please click on the link below for the full manual and check back often as I am constantly updating this book. |

In
November 2007, I began promoting off the track thoroughbreds for sale to the
public. The response has been phenomenal. I'm confident there are many people
interested in getting a horse off the track, though some hesitate because they
need guidance and good information. I have not found a comprehensive resource
explaining both how racehorses live while in training on the track, and how to
handle and retrain them once they leave the racetrack environment.
My
goal is to provide information to aid anyone who has, or is interested in having
an ottb (furnish this information on my website. I believe a person with a
working knowledge of horses is capable of handling a horse off the track, when
they have this added information to understand these wonderful horses.
