The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) on Monday announced the winners of their third annual Calendar Photo Contest, the 12 chosen photos set to be featured in the 2024 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Calendar, sponsored by Repole Stable.
The grand prize winner and cover feature by Ann Cheek captures an early morning sunrise over the sanctuary at Our Mims Retirement Haven in Kentucky. The image captures Our Mims residents Theheartofdixie, Kidnap Katie, and Sweet Ambition.
This year's calendar contest received nearly 200 submissions and along with the primary winners, additional photos were chosen to be featured in the calendar as honorable mentions. A total of 49 photographs were chosen to be included in the calendar. Featured photographs represented 29 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredited organizations.
“We are thrilled to feature the talents of these Thoroughbreds from various disciplines and accredited organizations in the 2024 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Calendar,” Samantha Smith, Director of Marketing and communications for the TAA, said. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Repole Stable for sponsoring the calendar and to Tipperary Equestrian for their generous prize sponsorship. Congratulations to all our winners, and we extend our appreciation to everyone who submitted entries.”
