Horsing around Community visits and mounted security means no horsing around for these former champions of the racetrack.

Winston Churchill once said, “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” The horses of the Australian Turf Club’s mounted security division are proving him correct. In contrast to former glittering racing careers which yielded tens of thousands of dollars worth of winnings, the now retired horses provide a unique therapy for people in aged care and special needs facilities, as well as creating an imposing security presence at major public events.

The Australian Jockey Club (AJC) formed the country’s first mounted security division in 2010. When the AJC merged with the Sydney Turf Club (STC) in 2011 to create the Australian Turf Club (ATC), the mounted security team then fell

under this banner as it continues to do so today. The security division was originally designed as a means of keeping the commercial racing stables at Randwick Racecourse safe from 55,000 music fans during the Future Music Festival.

The success of this venture has led to mounted security deployed at all four Sydney metropolitan racecourses during race days and carnivals.

Shane Brady is the ATC’s General Manager for Security, Risk and Investigations, as well as a Trustee for the NSW Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Trust. In conjunction with Racing NSW, the ATC has formed a charitable organisation to rehabilitate or re-home former racehorses. Shane says that six have been trained into effective 3

‘Equine Team Members’ off the track. Acknowledged members of the security division, the six horses are utilised in crowd control, stable protection, event perimeter protection and generally providing an imposing presence to any punters looking to misbehave.

“We employ strategies for desensitising the horses to noise, vehicle traffic, crowds and obstacles. The horses all require a fair amount of individual courage, combined with a good and trusting nature to perform the role effectively,” Shane says.

However it’s not just the horses that need training. The full time security coordinator Raewyn Parkin leads a team of casually employed, experienced riders who all hold current NSW security licenses. mcgrath.com.au

“We had an elderly gentleman at a nursing home recount childhood experiences with a horse. It was conveyed to us that this was a very positive behavioural change, as he rarely spoke to the staff or other residents.”

“We conduct internal training in regard to mounted operations, protocols and procedures,” Shane says.Shane has capitalised on the

good and trusting nature of the Equine Team Members with the recent introduction of community visits. Two horses and their riders go to an aged care or special needs facility and allow residents and visitors to pet the horses and feed them apples or carrots. The riders then deliver a kind of community education program relating to the ATC Mounted Division operations, as well as a background story about each horse to showcase the versatility of the thoroughbred as a breed.

to see the smiles generated as a result of the interaction with the horses, and the horses also seem to recognise and react compassionately,” Shane says.

“Many residents are bedridden or have mobility or vision impairments. Our visits allow them the opportunity to come into physical contact with a thoroughbred. It’s very rewarding

“We had an elderly gentleman at a nursing home recount childhood experiences with a horse. It was conveyed to us that this was a very positive behavioural change, as he rarely spoke to the staff

The benefits of using animals as therapy has long been documented.

Organisations such as Riding for the Disabled have over 800 horses Australia wide, and the Delta Society has over 1,000 volunteers who take their specially trained dogs to visit approximately 20,000 patients in over 700 Australian health care facilities each week.

or other residents,” says Shane.

While all Equine Team Members make community visits, the most popular is ‘Duffield’ whose father was the champion ‘Octagonal’. He was trained in Sydney at Warwick Farm and won $58,000 during his career. These days, his payment is usually in the form of carrots, for which Shane says he has an “unquenchable thirst”.

With two aged care facility visits planned at the end of January, Future Music Festival in March and then the BMW 2014 Sydney Carnival, the six Equine Team Members look set to have a very busy year ahead. australianturfclub.com.au Words Megan Macpherson Images courtesy of ATC & Samantha Mackie
