Off-the-Track Alliance

Australia’s first national nonprofit dedicated to the lifelong welfare of Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorses. The Off-the-Track Alliance (OTTA) is laying the foundation for a coordinated, nationwide approach to aftercare welfare for Australia’s Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorses. As the first nonprofit to unite this cause under a single banner, OTTA exists to reinforce established networks, open new pathways, and mobilise a national community around a shared commitment. OTTA’s strategy integrates national advocacy with regional engagement, supported by a custom digital platform. This infrastructure enables dynamic peer networks, real-time feedback, responsive education and social programming, and continuous evidence-informed progress. While many individuals and organisations are working to assist horses in the transition out of racing, OTTA builds on this foundation with a forward focus on sustainable, measurable long-term impact. By championing community-driven action alongside sector-wide collaboration, and optimising underutilised assets while minimising reliance on finite resources, OTTA is shaping a scalable model of support equipped to span the full arc of the post-racing journey.
