Stable Recovery, Inc. (Stable Recovery) hosted the inaugural John Hall Memorial Golf Scramble at Thoroughbred Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky Oct. 10. Nearly one hundred people attended the event and over $90,000 was raised from more than 50 sponsors and participants. All contributions went to Stable Recovery to fund its ongoing operations.
“We were really pleased to be able to honor John Hall and to raise money to support a program we believe he would be really happy with,” said Christian Countzler, President and CEO of Stable Recovery. “With the money we raised today we will not only be able to give a lot of men and women an opportunity at recovery but we will be able to give back to the industry by providing well-trained and reliable horsemen and horsewomen who are willing to work hard and do the right thing.”
Added Frank Taylor of Taylor Made Farm, “John Hall was a great horseman, but an even better human being. We feel his presence daily at Taylor Made through the people he mentored and helped. I know John is smiling down as we play his favorite game of golf while raising money for such a great cause.”
