MEET FIONA

Fiona has long been flying the flag for OTT horses. Fiona is a passionate advocate for the thoroughbred and their post-racing careers which she says are endless given the opportunity, time, and correct training/retraining.

She says every racehorse can have a purpose/second career after their have retired from the track, it’s just a matter of finding the right fit for each individual horse and matching them correctly to “their person” to provide the best possible opportunity to excel whether that be as a competition horse or simply a pleasure horse.
