The Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF) has awarded $2,500 to Amplify Horse Racing to be used for educational, mentorship and career opportunities, the organization said in a release Wednesday.
Amplify Horse Racing's mission is to expand careers and education in the Thoroughbred industry by supporting and enhancing existing educational and engagement initiatives, while creating and developing new opportunities. They seek to open doors for anyone to be involved by welcoming all backgrounds, organizations, initiatives, riding disciplines and age groups.
“Thanks to grant support from TERF, Amplify Horse Racing has been able to facilitate 30 mentees in 2023–more than any previous year,” said Annise Montplaisir, President & Co-Founder. “Our mentorship program connects youth and young adults who have an interest in the Thoroughbred industry, but limited experience or connections, with industry mentors who provide guidance and support on their learning journey. With the help of organizations like TERF who share our educational mission, Amplify is going to continue expanding and building pathways for the next generation to be involved in the Thoroughbred industry.”
