Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott Racing

Why are we fundraising

Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing is delighted to lend its support to the 2026 Tour d'Horse, a remarkable initiative benefiting the KIDS Foundation. We recognise the profound impact that horses can have on individuals, fostering resilience, confidence, and a sense of well-being, qualities that align perfectly with the KIDS Foundation's vital work in preventing childhood trauma and empowering young lives. Just as we nurture and develop the potential of our equine athletes, the KIDS Foundation dedicates itself to nurturing and developing the potential of vulnerable children. We understand the importance of building strong foundations, whether it's for a champion racehorse or a child facing adversity. The Tour d'Horse, with its focus on endurance and perseverance, mirrors the challenges many children overcome, and we are inspired by the dedication of those participating. We are particularly drawn to the KIDS Foundation's commitment to creating safer communities for children. This dedication to preventing harm and providing support to those affected deeply resonates with our own values of care and responsibility for the horses we look after on a daily basis. By supporting the Tour d'Horse, we are not only celebrating the magnificent athleticism of horses but also contributing to a cause that is making a tangible difference in the lives of children across Australia. We believe in the power of community and are proud to be part of an event that brings people together to support such a worthy organisation. Thank you for supporting the Waterhouse Bott Racing team for Tour d'Horse 2026, and helping the KIDS Foundation reach its target of $1 million.
