Excellent opportunities are on offer for horses and riders across Western Australia to benefit from the expertise and experience of qualified coaches in the year ahead with the Off The Track WA (OTTWA) program, in partnership with Equestrian Western Australia (EWA). We will soon announce a list of coaching clinic dates for 2026.
It is rewarding for EWA to be involved in the re-education journey for off-track horses and riders and the partnership with Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) through their OTTWA program has been vital to the success of these clinics. We are proud to be part in the OTTWA initiative for retired thoroughbred and standardbred racehorses.
Alongside the 2026 season of OTTWA clinics, EWA is delighted to announce opportunities for the wider equestrian community to access and enjoy expert coaching. A day for all breeds is available at each regional clinic (to be confirmed in 2026).
2026 Calendar of Events *Coming Soon*
Clinics provide access to some of Australia’s best accredited coaches for a minimal nomination fee, which enables the rider to have up to four lessons per day (with a maximum of two lessons per horse). The lessons offered directly assist riders and horses to make significant progress in a safe & enjoyable environment.
