Equine Tutor Liv Logan arranged for our Rangiora High School equine internationals and Equine Career Link participants to visit Rangiora Racecourse for LoveRacing NZ's Careers Day. Here they learnt about the different careers associated with the thoroughbred racing industry, in the saddle, on the ground, and away from the track. 'Careers in Racing' sparked a lot of interest and questions around the different opportunities available in the industry. Everyone had the opportunity to watch track work, then try the simulator to get the feel of riding at speed in a racing saddle, and came away with an appreciation of the strength, fitness, and skill involved. Many thanks to Brigitte Corban (LOVERACING.NZ), Al Browne (Al Browne Racing ), Robyn Mauger (Mitavite NZ and Hygain New Zealand ) and Vic (in charge of keeping people safe on the track) for a great morning. We learnt a lot. 🙂
