Aquis Launch OTT Racehorse Young Trainer Program Competition

Media Release - Thursday February 14

A once in a lifetime opportunity for a young horse person with animal welfare at heart to run their very own profitable OTT program.

 

We are looking for the best retraining program for Aquis OTT Racehorses that promotes re-education and provides a new purpose.

 

As part of the program the re-trainer must take up to five horses from Aquis Farm to be retrained at their own facility or property with a view they are rehomed within six months.

Aquis will sponsor the cost, per horse, for the retraining as per the costs outlined in the program. The re-trainer determines the rehoming cost for the horse and retains 100% of the profits from the rehoming.

The competition winner could also win the $5,000 Aquis Champions Tour OTT Re-Trainer Bonus in 2020 at the Aquis Champions Tour if the re-trained horse wins a class under its new owner.
