The Thoroughbred Club

The Thoroughbred Club The Thoroughbred Club is the charity leg of Thoroughbred Events Australia - showcasing OTTT We want to see their new achievements.

A long road ahead - Our Mission Statement:
To Unite the Thoroughbred Industries

What does our mission statement mean? All of us have been touched in some way or another by riding, by owning, or purely by loving the race horse. This horse has taken us on a journey that will be instilled in our hearts and if anything like us, has becomes our passion. We have watched, we have wagered, we have ridd

en, we have gained so much excitement from the race horse. It is the Thoroughbred Club's intention to do as much as we can do to give back - even a snippet – to the mighty thoroughbred and assist in any way we can a safe journey to a new career after racing. The Club's intention is to offer "knowledge" and to take you first-hand, wherever the ex race horse has gone. In some cases, there may not be a new achievement but sponsor a horse and take it from an unfortunately situation to be taken to a new home to rest, re-educate and rehome (which we have done so far for 7 horses and continue to watch their progress). The Thoroughbred Club will also take you on a year's journey of 5 star experiences at Horse Racing, Show Jumping and Polo with the intention to further expand into Eventing and other ex thoroughbred industries in a timely manner. Not only will you experience these sports but we will also have various "get togethers" where we can talk and collate further ideas and to socialise amongst similar passionate people. We would like every member to be actively involved no matter how small your time is that you can offer. Together we can make a difference.

Shortly before John Henry left the plane, som**hing happened that took everyone present's breath away.

His loyal companion, groom, and friend, José Mercado, who had cared for and accompanied him for years, stepped to his side once more. With trembling hands, he wiped the tears from his eyes and whispered, "Farewell, my friend."

Then he slowly led the legendary racehorse from the plane to the transport box that would take him to his new home—the Kentucky Horse Park, where John Henry would spend his retirement.

It was a moment rarely experienced, even by long-time observers: Two souls—one human, one animal—connected by respect, trust, and shared time together.
Both—human and horse—seemed as if they knew exactly what this farewell meant.

And in John Henry's shining eyes, there was more than just light. There was understanding. Perhaps even a silent thank you.

A farewell full of dignity—between an extraordinary animal and the person who knew its heart.

Found this story pulling at my heart
Second chance - I hope he is living a peaceful and happy life now.

“The Horse from Hell: Rescued from a Drug Den, Reborn as Second Chance”
They found him in the pit of despair.........

During a police raid on a m**h lab in Springfield, Missouri, officers stormed a crumbling house filled with chemical fumes, armed criminals—and som**hing else.
A horse.
Emaciated, bleeding, and silent. His body bore the marks of torture: cigarette burns, deep sores, a front hoof split to the bone. He didn’t react to touch. He didn’t react at all. Used as a toy. Forgotten like trash. His eyes held no light—only resignation.

Vets said he was beyond saving. Euthanasia was scheduled. But one officer, Marcus Ray, stepped forward.

“I know someone who might help. Someone who gives second chances.”

He called Kaylee Monroe, a retired mounted police trainer known for taking in the hopeless. She lived on a quiet ranch, far from the city. When she heard the story, she didn’t hesitate.

“Bring him.”

She gave him a name: Second Chance.

Because that’s what she offered him—day after day. She tended his wounds, wrapped his shattered leg, and spoke to him gently. He didn’t want her near him. But she stayed.

Days passed. Then weeks. Until one morning, as she stepped into his stall—he reached for her.

He forgave.

He hoped.

Today, Second Chance is more than a survivor. He’s a living reminder that even in the deepest darkness, someone’s belief in you can bring the light back.

He’s not just a horse.

He’s a second chance—for all of us.

💬 Trainer Talk

Katina Cotsiopoulos (horse trainer) had a great chat with Peter Gray (equestrian retrainer) about the beautiful Aquarius… and his words say it all.

“He’d be in the top 5 horses I’ve rehomed over the years. An outstanding horse to ride and handle—a real gem.”

Aquarius isn’t just a looker—he’s the total package. A huge asset for anyone searching for a horse with versatility, temperament, and quality. Suitable for any discipline. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this boy yours! 🌟🐎

ATTENTION HORSE OWNERS:

SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND

NORTHERN NSW

Please, take notice that Cyclone Alfred will be upon us within 2 days.

NOW IS THE TIME TO MOVE YOUR HORSES TO HIGHER GROUND.

If your horse paddocks are on the banks of creeks and rivers, move them immediately.

If your horses are in low lying areas, move them immediately.

There is no excuse to be caught out in floods, we have had plenty of warnings.

Remember to move your horses into paddocks with the least amount of trees, as cyclonic winds will bring trees and branches down.

All weather reports are warning of rainfall between 300mm all the way up to 1,000mm !!

These rainfall amounts are catastrophic to horses and they cannot escape flood waters when we have them locked in paddocks.

Act now.....no excuses !

We get sick of seeing members of the public risking their lives trying to rescue horses from raging waters.

Please stay safe everyone.
