The Value of Groundwork in retraining the off track Thoroughbred

Alberta Thoroughbred breeder and owner, Hazel Bennett of Borders Racing Stables and Tracey Skinner of Meadowlands Stables have partnered to apply the concepts of ground work and natural horsemanship to successfully retrain off track thoroughbreds for new careers.

Hazel and Tracey were first introduced over seventeen years ago at Falcon Cliff Farms where Hazel started up a 4-H Club. Tracey had spent her early riding career in the hunter jumper ring achieving much success on the circuit with a Thoroughbred named Paddington. In the past decade, her interests and focus turned toward training young horses and developing their versatility. Tracey’s goals and training methods were a perfect match for Hazel who is passionately dedicated to providing her racehorses with promising futures in new careers after the track.
