Queensland Off-The-Track The QOTT Program has been established to provide a high-quality first transition for Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses from racing and breeding activities to retirement. To maximise aftercare outcomes for Queensland’s retired racehorses, the QOTT Program supports the placement of retired racehorses into second careers, promotes life after racing options and identifies retirement pathways. QOTT aims to stimulate demand for the breeds and increase awareness of their adaptability and versatility of use; provide education and support for racing industry participants and the domestic horse community to optimise racehorse aftercare; and advocate for the lifelong traceability of retired racehorses beyond their first exit from the racing industry. Since its inception, the QOTT Program has launched nine major initiatives to support racehorse aftercare in Queensland.

Norco Norco began in 1895, when a group of 40 farmers gathered under a tree at Clunes, near Byron Bay, to discuss how they could come together to secure a better and more profitable future for the dairy farmers of the Northern Rivers by exercising the principles of collaboration. They knew then, what we still live by today, that we are stronger together.
