The New Zealand Trotting Owners Association (NZTOA), through its “Own the Thrill” initiative, is proud to sponsor a race at Alexandra Park this Friday night to raise awareness and support for The New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust.
Alexandra Park – Race 1 – 5.27pm, Own the Thrill – here for the horse mobile pace.
This sponsorship aims to highlight the crucial role the Trust plays in safeguarding the welfare of our equine athletes during race meetings and events.
“Own the Thrill” promotes harness racing ownership by showcasing the excitement, camaraderie, and passion of the sport. By aligning this initiative with The Horse Ambulance Trust, NZTOA reinforces its commitment to responsible ownership and animal welfare.
The New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust operates a fleet of purpose-built ambulances across the country, providing rapid and professional on-track response in the event of equine injury. These units are vital for ensuring that horses receive immediate care and can be safely transported for further treatment.
Through these high-profile race sponsorships, NZTOA not only celebrates the thrill of harness racing but also draws attention to the behind-the-scenes efforts that protect the animals at the heart of the sport. It’s a powerful reminder that every thrilling race depends on strong welfare support
