The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will be on-site as a sponsor this year for The Retired Racehorse Project's Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY October 9-12. The event is the largest retraining competition for recently retired Thoroughbred racehorses and showcases the versatility and adaptability of these athletes as they transition into new careers while highlighting the importance of aftercare in ensuring successful second careers for Thoroughbreds.
Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will have a booth located in the Covered Arena during the Thoroughbred Makeover. Riders and patrons are encouraged to stop by to learn more about accredited aftercare and the role it plays in the future of retired racehorses. In addition, branded merchandise will be available at the booth in exchange for donations, offering supporters a way to contribute to accredited aftercare which supports the ongoing care and retraining of these amazing Thoroughbreds.
Out of the 353 horses entered in this year's Thoroughbred Makeover, 53 horses will be representing 11 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredited organizations. These horses will be competing in eight of the 10 disciplines offered at the event.
“Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is thrilled to be a sponsor of The Thoroughbred Makeover,” said Operations Consultant for Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Stacie Clark Rogers. “Both Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and The Retired Racehorse Project are deeply committed to facilitating the retraining and rehoming of these incredible athletes. The Thoroughbred Makeover is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the remarkable second careers these horses can have.”
