For first-time and experienced OTTB enthusiasts

NEW BEGINNINGS FOR YOU AND YOUR OTTB START HERE:

You love your off-track thoroughbred (OTTB), and you want to see them thriving with you.
But you've noticed tension patterns and behaviors from their past that affect their ability to thrive in their future with you.

These behaviors might look like:

Reacting, spooking and bolting on the ground and under the saddle.

Fussy with the bit, brace against the contact and general difficulty controlling.


Poor body condition, difficulty building topline and gaining weight

Anxiety behaviors such as pawing, weaving, head bobbing, ear pinning, and food aggression.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

These are not training problems; these behaviors are the product of past training experiences and require a unique approach.

Why OTTBs Need a Different Approach

Most training programs focus on general groundwork, obedience, or desensitization—but OTTBs come with unique mental, emotional, and physical patterns that require a different approach.

Rebalance

The OTTB nervous system has been conditioned for racing. They don’t just need to “calm down”—they need to retrain how they process stress.

​

Rebalancing from the inside-out—Beyond desensitization, learn how to help your horse truly relax and reset.​

Restart

OTTB movement patterns are built for speed, not balance. Many OTTBs struggle with body awareness with poor posture and topline development. Develop healthy biomechanics on the ground and with rider for self carriage, balance and topline development.

Retrain

Discover a harmonious, low-stress retraining experience.  Develop soft contact with self carriage and relaxed connection. You and your OTTB partner will be ready to pursue your equine dreams together.

​​

Together, we can help your OTTB thrive.

​

​🌿 No more frustration.
🌿 No more guesswork.


Just a clear, holistic approach to building a thriving partnership with a  happy, healthy equine partner.

​

It's time to release these old behaviors holding your OTTB back from living their happiest, healthiest life with you.

Here are 3 Ways to Start your Journey

Learn how to help your horse transition from the track, leaving old tensions and behavioral patterns behind to embrace a new way of thinking and being to THRIVE in their new lifestyle and partnership with you.

I've seen Aurora's methods work successfully with many different horses of various backgrounds; from the off-the-track thoroughbred to the neglected broodmare rescued from the slaughter pipeline, Aurora's method sets a foundation for horse and rider to continue their training in the discipline of their choice.

Before the Restart program, I was on the verge of retiring my OTTB. He was bucking under saddle, struggling with sleep deprivation, and seemed constantly anxious and unsettled, which only skyrocketed my own anxiety.

Since then, I’ve witnessed an incredible transformation. Lux is now a far more relaxed and happy horse, and I’ve become a more confident and calm partner as a result.

Before working with Aurora Equine, my horse was bracing and tense, showing little interest and feeling closed off. Our connection felt one-sided—I loved her, but she seemed disengaged.

After working with Aurora Equine, everything changed. I now feel amazing about our progress and the bond we’ve built. She’s blossomed, and her character has grown in incredible ways. 

​​

"Aurora has a unique gift for creating a safe space for both horse and owner. Through her intuition and experience, she listens deeply and teaches valuable skills like self-regulation, advocacy, and being present.

She empowers horses and their owners to make meaningful changes, allowing the horse to thrive in a relaxed and content state. Aurora is truly AMAZING!"
