Congratulations to the former PTK horses and their trainers who made this Makeover one to remember!

Of the four former PTK horses competing at the Retired Racehorse Project TB Makeover this week, two qualified for the Championships on Saturday! Big congratulations to Jar & Amy Faison and Rustler & Chelsey O'Brien, who made the cut in Dressage and Competitive Trail. All four horses did us very proud, and we can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store! @PasturedPlace

From longshot stakes winner to king of the trail, Rusty has never shied away from a challenge in all the years we've known him. Huge congratulations to him and to Chelsey O'Brien on a job well done this year, we've been cheering you on every step of the way!

Andrea is officially a member of the inaugural Miss Mareworthy Royal Court, finishing 6th out of 13 amazing contestants who qualified for the judging round. We could not be more proud of our girl, and she's pretty proud of herself, too. We just know she's going to ask to wear her sash out in the field. 🎽 We'd like to take a minute to thank Mareworthy for coming up with this incredible idea, seeing it through, and making it fun. They said it best in their post following the close of public voting: "If this... showed us anything, it’s how much people care about the mares they love." Love your mares. Celebrate them. Cherish them. That's what this was all about. 💜 We can't wait to see how the rest of the Royal Court fills out, so we're staying tuned in and you should, too!

Good old Pluracity. He never looked his age on the track, and that’s still true in retirement 11 years later! #oncelovedalwaysloved

Voting for Miss Mareworthy 2026 closed last night, and Andrea finished an amazing 5th of 109 contestants! The results are preliminary, but it’s safe to say she enjoyed running in another race after all this time as much as we enjoyed rooting for her. She wanted to thank all of you personally for cheering her on and floated the idea of celebrating with a mint for each vote, but we convinced her 700+ mints would be a bit much. 🍬 Thank you to every last one of you who voted, whether for Andrea or any of the incredible contestants. The show of support meant more to us than we can say, and we’re sure it meant a lot to @Mareworthy 💚🤍💚 Now, who’s going to break it to Andrea that there’s a judging round? She’s pretty sure she already won! 👑

In her interview response for Miss Mareworthy, Andrea mentioned that she inherited her mother’s looks and smarts. There really could be no truer statement-you’ll have to take our word for it on the smarts, but we can prove the looks!🪞 PTK claimed Timely’s Pic after years of admiring her courage, but promptly retired her when it became clear that she was at the tail end of her racing career. Andrea came along in 2003, Timely's very first foal, and she just went right ahead and hit copy+paste. They were two peas in a pod from the word go, and to add to the mystery of nature, not one of the four other foals Timely gave us came quite as close to resembling her as Andrea did. Every horse lovers' nightmare occurred early in 2007 when Timely suffered a pasture accident while carrying her fifth and final foal. She essentially shattered her pastern, but she survived an emergency C-section (as did her foal) and the team at New Bolton thought she had a fighting chance, so we chose to repair the injury at the same time. Timely spent nearly a year there under the care of the incomparable Dr. Richardson and his team, which is where this photo of her was taken. Her spirit and intelligence almost saw her through a miraculous recovery, and we hoped to coddle her all the many remaining years of her life. Tragically, laminitis came calling in the fall, and we said goodbye to our courageous Timely in November of 2007. With the help of NBC, we were able to choose a good day, and there is no doubt that Timely knew how loved she was until the very end. 💚 It would be a lie to pretend those events didn’t have something to do with making Andrea a little more precious to us. But she had already done plenty to distinguish herself in her own right. Named for the incredible horsewoman that raised her and praised her as the best of her crop, Andrea went on to accomplish things we could only dream of as breeders at the time. She’s a living link to our earliest days with hard-trying Thoroughbreds on the Maryland circuit, a time we increasingly treasure, and she's every bit her mother’s daughter. But more important than all of that, she has been our most cherished and loving friend for over 20 years. That’s partly because time has allowed her that luxury, but it’s also because she is the most mindful mare around. Voting for Miss Mareworthy continues through Sunday!

Andrea is currently in 8th with a week left in the Miss Mareworhy public voting round! The website now features shuffle, alphabetical, and vote count filters, so when/if you choose to support Andrea at mareworthymatch.com/mare/and… be sure to go to the Contestants page to check them out.

Miss Mareworthy 2026 is live with over one hundred contestants, and our very own Andrea’s Pic is one of them! ⭐️ When @Mareworthy announced they were holding a first-of-its-kind online pageant celebrating Thoroughbred mares, we knew we had to submit an entry for Andrea. She is truly the queen of PTK and of our hearts, and it seemed like a great opportunity to honor her and all the joy she has given us over the years. We’d love to see her make the Top 10 and advance to the judging round, but she needs your help to get her there! You can visit mareworthymatch.com/mare/and… to learn more about why Andrea is so special to us and cast a vote for her. Public voting opens today and runs through September 13th. Creating an account is required, and that will enable you to vote for your favorite mare(s) once per day for the duration of the voting period. 🗳️ The competition is stiff and rightfully so-Thoroughbred mares are amazing creatures, and Miss Mareworthy is doing an incredible job at highlighting that. Our favorite part of the pageant so far has been the interview responses, all written from the mares’ individual perspectives. Every single one is worth reading, and you can view them all here: mareworthymatch.com/miss-mar… Here's a peek at Andrea’s official glamour shot, a longtime personal favorite of ours. Captured by the K in PTK, it was taken at Bowie Race Track upon Andrea’s retirement from racing in 2009. 💚🤍 #MissMareworthy #Mareworthy #ThoroughbredMares #OnceLovedAlwaysLoved

Ben is all grown up and doing us very proud! Huge congratulations to his connections and to @luissaezpty on his 4,000th win! 👏🎉

No Pity had a gorgeous colt by Constitution this year, and she really outdid herself with this one. This handsome boy wanted to help us announce that PTK's website has gotten a much needed makeover just in time for 4th of July, and now he's telling everyone who will listen. 📢 You can do the little guy a solid (and save our sleeves) by giving ptkllc.org a visit. Feel free to let us know what you think!

We were overjoyed to hear of Comin’ Back and Madi Barnett's efforts in the inaugural Thoroughbred Hunter Derby at the beautiful Upperville Colt & Horse Show yesterday. They placed third in a huge class of 57 entries, and did us very proud in the process! The real goal of any breeder is to raise horses that are a credit to the Thoroughbred, whether on or off the track, and we rank Comin’ Back among our greatest achievements as breeders because he is precisely that. We can’t thank @PasturedPlace, Ali Rawles, Mary Crawford, or Madi enough for believing in him and helping to guide him into the next phase of his life, it’s been an absolute thrill to witness. Here is Madi and Comin’ Back’s second round which combined with their first round score to secure them a “podium” finish. If you’d like to help show the world what Thoroughbreds are made of, please consider making a contribution to Pastured Place at pasturedplace.org/donate. Founded by the humans behind PTK and our partner in ensuring aftercare is never an afterthought. 💚 Signing off as we can’t wait to show Comin’ Back’s mom what her son has been up to! #MaydellTheGreat 🎥 @ClipMyHorse

Kentucky missed you, Brant! 💚

Our third foal of the year is also the first filly, an adorable little lady by Annapolis out of Alluring, the newest addition to our little broodmare band. This precious girl arrived three weeks early, getting off to a bit of a rough start. Thanks to the quick work of the amazing team at Fallbrook Farm and a few days of expert care at @roodandriddle, mom and baby are back home and doing great!
