About Aushorse

Aushorse is the marketing body of the Australian thoroughbred industry. We proudly promote Australia as the leading source for the breeding and sale of high quality thoroughbreds worldwide, and Australia as the pre-eminent country to invest and race in.

Our aim is to encourage investment from overseas, whether to race or breed in Australia or export to another country. Domestically we have an important role to play in introducing new owners to the fun and excitement of racehorse ownership.

A world leading breeding and racing industry, Australia is widely acknowledged for producing winners at the highest level around the globe.

We are an independent, not-for-profit company, and are committed to providing impartial advice and assistance.

As with our sister organisation, Thoroughbred Breeders Australia, we are funded by vendors through a small levy on all horses sold at public auction by Inglis and Magic Millions.

 

Our Work

It is Aushorse’s role to promote the Australian thoroughbred industry to a global audience and we do so via extensive marketing campaigns throughout Europe, Great Britain & Ireland, North America, Asia, the Middle East and South Africa.

Aside from promotions in print, TV, radio and social media, Aushorse also produces publications such as the Investor’s Guide and an annual magazine. Its staff travel around the world building relationships and encouraging investors to get involved Down Under and Aushorse also runs an internship program with the staff of leading Chinese buyers that has cemented Australia’s position as the leading exporter to China.

Domestically, Aushorse promotes the many attributes of breeding and racing through extensive advertising in ANZ Bloodstock News and TDN Australia/NZ, while Aushorse has also developed an educational website for those interested in becoming involved in the industry. Aushorse also conducts ‘Masterclasses’, trackwork breakfasts, sales tours (including marquees at major sales) and the popular ‘Stablemates’ program which seeks to match up potential owners with trainers.

Aushorse also works closely with other industry stakeholders on a number of joint marketing initiatives. Recent examples include the production of a brochure to showcase the 2020 Tasmanian Yearling sale and Thoroughbred Racing South Australia’s ‘Dare To Dream’ promotion, which gave 25 lucky winners that chance to become racehorse owners.
