Thoroughbreds For All Kentucky
The Fourth-annual Celebration of Thoroughbreds in Second Careers
Thoroughbreds For All, an event that showcases the versatility of the Thoroughbred horse, will once again be held at the conclusion of the dressage phase of the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event on Friday, April 24. Hosted at New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program’s Lexington facility, West Wind Farm, the event will run from 5-9 p.m. and will include a Southern-style buffet dinner.
This year’s powerhouse lineup will include Laine Ashker, a regular competitor at Rolex Kentucky CCI**** and rider of the magnificent off-track Thoroughbred Anthony Patch; international dressage high-performance rider, trainer, coach and clinician Reese Koffler-Stanfield; and world-class colt trainer and winner of both the 2014 Kentucky Reining Cup and the 2014 All-American Quarter Horse Congress Freestyle Reining Dan James of Double Dan Horsemanship. All three of these great horsemen will share their experiences in working with Thoroughbreds before an expected crowd of over 600 Thoroughbred enthusiasts.
Additional highlights of the evening include
- Recognition and introduction by Jockey Club TIP of Rolex Riders on Thoroughbreds
- In-hand evaluation of recent New Vocations arrivals as prospects for dressage, eventing, and other careers
All sessions will be moderated by Steuart Pittman of RRP and Anna Ford of New Vocations.
