Pony Racing Australia
In 2023, Thoroughbred Industry Careers in partnership with Pony Club Australia launched a National Pony Racing Series, consisting of six state qualifying race days (with two pony size categories) which culminated into The Finals which were held in Sydney during the 2024 Autumn Racing Carnival.
For the 2024/25 season we will be expanding the program to include ‘Jumpstart Weekends’ which will consist of a two-day event open to Pony Club Australia members of ALL ages and ANY size pony or horse! Whether you’re new to pony racing or simply want to improve your skills, this is where your journey begins.
DATES FOR THE 2024/25 SEASON are open – please follow our social media to enter.
THE EXPLORER CADETSHIP
CURRENTLY ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE – Due to the closure of the Equine Section of Richmond TAFE, our training programs are currently without a training facility, please follow our social media for updates.
The Explorer Cadetship is the ultimate 12-month entry pathway into the Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing Industry. This program is the only one of its kind in Australia, and it gives you the best opportunity to build a successful career. Find out more details here!
