1. Put aside what you were going to place on a bet and donate it to The Coalition For The Protection Of Racehorses or Horse Rescue Australia.
2. Sign local petitions to end some of the cruelest parts of the Industry Such As Jump Racing or to setup retirement plans for Race Horses
3. If you have a win in a work sweep, why not donate the winnings to Horse Rescue Australia to ensure that the other horses in the race might live out the rest of their lives in a field not as pet food.
4. Consider attending a ‘Nup to the Cup’ event and share this article with your family and friends.
