All proceeds will support the Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, a $100,000 training competition on the last weekend of October at Kentucky Horse Park featuring over 500 Thoroughbreds beginning second careers in ten riding sports.
The presenting sponsor of the Hoedown at Hagyard is Boehringer-Ingelheim, producer of many essential equine vaccines and pharmaceuticals. The event is also supported by Patterson Veterinary Supply, Bourbon Lane Stable, Triple Crown Nutrition, and Accuhorsemat.
Celebrity guests include Rosie Napravnik and Joe Sharp, Phillip and Evie Dutton, Graham and Anita Motion, Chris McCarron, Valerie Ashker, and many Rolex riders to be announced. North American Racing Academy will be coaching the party-goers on Equicizers, and a new sport called Equicizer Racing will match Rolex riders against jockeys and exercise riders.
The Hoedown at Hagyard will feature live music by celebrated farrier Steve Norman’s Shades of Grass Band with catering by central Kentucky’s award-winning Red State Barbecue, and an open bar sponsored by Bourbon Lane Stable. Tickets are $50 for adults with a $15 discount for Retired Racehorse Project members ($45 annual dues includes free Makeover tickets and quarterly Off-Track Thoroughbred magazine). A sellout crowd of 400 is expected.
