The Thoroughbred Sport Horse Association aims to create a second career and an increased demand for retired thoroughbred race horses.
The versatility of the Thoroughbred is amazing. They can be successful at showjumping, dressage, eventing, polo, campdrafting, hacking, anything at all. No other horse breed is as intelligent and versatile as a Thoroughbred!
To achieve this we are initiating thoroughbred-only competitions in the equestrian disciplines of showjumping, eventing, dressage, campdrafting and hacking. In 2021 we have showjumping and Hacking/Show Horse classes culminating in the inaugural Australian Thoroughbred Sport Horse Titles in 2022.
Objectives
TSHA’s main objective is to work with show organisers to create dedicated thoroughbred classes and to secure funding from the Racing Industry for prize money for those classes, thereby creating a market and a competition destination for off-the-track horses.
A sport horse can have a competition life (depending on soundness) of 15 years. This is why the TSHA is in for the long haul – we aim to have on-going competitions in each state of Australia focusing on both city and regional competitions for the foreseeable future. TSHA competitions will fill the gap between racing and retirement.
Since the inception of TSHA in early 2019 there have been over 1350 licences purchased and the number of shows has increased from 11 in 2019 to over 70 shows on the 2022 calendar.
TSHA Sponsorship
Sponsorship opportunities available for this fantastic cause!
There is no minimum and certainly no maximum amount of money that will be accepted to help.
If you are a business – ALL of the money that you sponsor will be tax deductible. We will also guarantee that your money goes to the show of your choice as prize money (only for thoroughbreds) and a small portion to help with the running of the show (ie judges, pencillers, course-builder and hire of the jumps).
