What Do I Do With My Off-Track Thoroughbred? Find Out On Facebook Live!

There is a myriad of opinions about what to do with an off-the-track Thoroughbred (OTTB). Get answers now and understand what your next steps should be. Laura Kelland-May is excited to have Raina Paucar, retired professional jockey and ex-racehorse enthusiast, as a featured guest on Equestrian Skill Builders live March 27th, 9:30 a.m. Eastern to help you with your “next steps.”

Buying an OTTB is an economical option for some people. “But,” Kelland-May says, “there are some things you should know before you buy. That's why I've asked our guest Raina Paucar to join us and give insight into that special OTTB purchase.”

One topic to be discussed is considerations before the horse is purchased. Paucar will also share some behavior and conditioning insight as well as exercises that can be included in the horse's rehabilitation program.

The Equestrian Skill Builders live broadcast was developed by Kelland-May to be a resource for horse owners and riders. It can be found on The Equestrian Skill Builders Facebook page and on Kelland-May's YouTube Channel. “Interviewing equestrian professionals who can help all riders and horse owners is my goal,” says Kelland-May.

Raina Marie Paucar is a lifelong equestrian, retired professional jockey and ex-racehorse enthusiast. She is certified in equine massage, PEMF, Kinesio Tape and has experience as an equine vet assistant. In addition to the “hands on” part of her business, she works as a product and business developer, bringing new animal products to market that benefit health and well-being.

Equestrian Skill Builders LIVE is a live broadcast and viewers are encouraged to ask questions and comment on the information being discussed. This week will cover:

  • Adopting or purchasing an OTTB? What to consider to avoid disappointment
  • How to develop a successful program for your OTTB
  • Dynamic mobilization exercises you can include in your rehab program
  • Q & A session

“I am looking forward to having Raina Paucar as a special guest this week. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of horses, and in particular the Thoroughbred horse, and exercises she will share will shed some light onto what to do when you get that OTTB home and in your stable.”

Equestrian Skill Builders Live is on Facebook and YouTube. If you miss the live broadcast, Kelland-May says, “not to worry, you can catch the replay, but I encourage you to join us live.”
