The OTTB Aftercare Manual

A definitive guide for new and existing owners & lovers of OTTBs.

Whether you’re welcoming your first off-track Thoroughbred or have loved the breed for years, The OTTB Aftercare Manual is designed to help you better understand the horse behind the racehorse.

This practical resource covers the important considerations that come with caring for a retired Thoroughbred athlete — from nutrition and medical care to hoof care, handling, transitioning from the racetrack, and understanding the unique needs of the OTTB.

Created with OTTB owners, trainers, adopters, volunteers and Thoroughbred advocates in mind, it provides useful information to help these remarkable horses make a successful transition into their next chapter.

Because responsible aftercare doesn’t end when a horse leaves the racetrack — that’s where the next chapter begins.

Every purchase supports the work of the Alberta Thoroughbred Aftercare Society and our commitment to giving retired racehorses the opportunity for safe, successful and meaningful futures. ❤️🐎
