The 2024 #TBMakeover Is in TWO WEEKS!
Retired Racehorse Project Release
LEXINGTON, Ky.—Are you excited for the biggest celebration in Thoroughbred aftercare? WE SURE ARE!
The 2024 Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of America, takes place at the Kentucky Horse Park on October 9-12. We’re preparing to over 300 recently retired ex-racehorses and former broodmares to celebrate their transition to careers beyond racing. Plus, we’ll have plenty of additional educational and networking opportunities for Thoroughbred enthusiasts as well.
Don’t forget: the Thoroughbred Makeover is FREE to attend! Some aspects of the event are ticketed; click the button below for more information.
Please note: there is no livestream of the Finale this year. Video recordings of Finale rounds will be posted to the RRP’s YouTube channel by November.
