New Vocations Press Release
LEXINGTON, KY – New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program will host its 21st Annual All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show at Highfields Event Center in Aikin, SC, from May 31st – June 2nd. Heider Family Stables is once again the title sponsor of this year’s event.
“We’re thrilled and honored to have Heider Family Stables as our title sponsor again this year,” said New Vocations Thoroughbred Program Director Anna Ford. “Scott and Cindy Heider are long-time supporters of New Vocations, our show and Thoroughbred aftercare in general, and we couldn’t be happier to have them present this year’s show.”
The annual charity show serves as one of New Vocations’ largest fundraisers as well as a key way for the nonprofit organization to spread awareness about the Thoroughbred’s versatility in post-track life. This year’s charity show is also supported by the Indiana HBPA and Ohio HBPA, both of which are Day Sponsors.
The event will offer a variety of classes for Thoroughbreds, including hunter, jumper, combined test, pleasure, in-hand, dressage and western and in-hand. A highlight of the show is the Specialty Thoroughbred Awards, which celebrate the OTTBs’ achievements during their racing careers. Nearly 200 OTTBs from all over the Eastern US will be entered in the show.
“We are excited to welcome Thoroughbreds and their exhibitors back to compete and connect with others who share the same love and passion for the breed,” Ford said. “The support we have received for this year’s show has been simply amazing. So many Thoroughbred owners, breeders, trainers, industry partners and fans have become sponsors of the event, and there’s still time to participate as a show sponsor.”
Show sponsorship opportunities are still available at levels ranging from $100-$10,000, and all sponsorships go directly towards New Vocations’ mission of rehabilitation, retraining and rehoming retired racehorses.
