Master Class & Demos

Inspired by colt starting competitions but without the pressure of a contest, the RRP Master Class was originally conceived to give spectators a comprehensive look at what to consider when evaluating recently-retired racehorses and approaching the first ride. The RRP Master Class features three participating trainers who are randomly matched with three recently-retired ex-racehorses. With the help of commentators, who help narrate the process, trainers analyze conformation and movement, share first impressions, and then break out into individual training sessions with their horses.

Designed for Thoroughbreds who are established in their competitive careers, the RRP Thoroughbred Sport Clinic grants spectators the opportunity to see ex-racehorses at a more advanced stage of training. An industry expert clinician guides riders on their Thoroughbreds through exercises and training techniques designed to further training in their chosen discipline. Past Thoroughbred Sport Clinics have featured international 5* eventer Buck Davidson and polo professional Jorge Vasquez.
