Alexander Racing Ballarat

This is an opportunity for a student to participate in work experience, start date and duration of placement as negotiated between the student and employer.

Our stable is uniquely located in Ballarat as it has direct access to the public training facilities, but is set away from other stables on eleven acres of private land. We have developed the property to maximise a horse's comfort and well being. Each horse is treated as an individual and time is spent getting to know each horse and its particular habits and preferences so that it can be housed accordingly. We have a great variety of accommodation including a typical 16 horse barn, large covered yards, paddocks with shelters and walk in/walk out yards, so we can always ensure a horse is living where it is most happy.
