It's Thoroughbred horses that were raised to be race horses, but for whatever reason, didn't cut it. I think it stands for Off the Track ThoroughBred ?????

My mother would go to OTB often off track betting. She had to go into the Bronx Westchester had none.

Canes got it. They have actually raced, but weren't going to be big enough money makers to justify the costs of keeping.
TB is shorthand for Thoroughbred, QH for quarter horse, AQHA for quarter horses registered with the American Quarter Horse Association, SB is for Standardbred, ASB for American Saddlebred, TWH for Tennessee Walking Horse,... etc.

Now you can peruse CL Farm and Garden and pick a horse for yourself Mary.

My horse that I have now and the mare that I lost 2 years ago were both off the track horses. Rascal, my current is the GGGGrandson of Secretariat and GGGrandson of Spectacular bid. He obviously was a dud on the track but a lovely dressage horse, (he is not me.) A track horse must have a tattoo on the inside of their lips. My mare had one race. Around here they are advertised a lot. They are then retrained for some type of riding. My 2 horses used to race each other around the pasture.

A local trainer just posted her 80 year old client riding in their indoor arena. I hardly think she started riding latter in life.
