Discover our #LearningWithLegends program through the eyes of vet science student Luke O'Neil. Luke is immersing himself in invaluable insights about training and transitioning racehorses from the track, providing care throughout this phase, and extending into geriatric care.

"Racing should only be quite a small part of their life, they've got a lot to give after they're off the track." With the help of @LivingLegendsAU, Luke O'Neil is living his dream as a vet science student & future equine veterinarian 🐎 #LoveTheHorse @RV_OffTheTrack
