Terrific leadership and dedicated individuals who make it happen on a day-to-day basis make it a must-support for us in the Thoroughbred industry. It's an important part of our sport, taking care of the racehorses once their racing careers are completed, and rightfully so. New Vocations makes it possible for these horses to move on to new chapters, and that's a win-win scenario for everyone. We are honored to be involved and enthusiastically support their work." shared Scott & Cindy Heider. cc @uscgatsby “We’re thrilled to have the Heider Family Stables as our title sponsor again this year,” said Anna Ford, New Vocations’ Thoroughbred Program Director. “Scott and Cindy Heider have been avid supporters of New Vocations and our horse show, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued commitment. We’re excited to welcome exhibitors back to celebrate their shared passion for Thoroughbreds and watch them excel in a variety of disciplines.” This three-day show is New Vocations’ largest fundraiser of the year, and it provides a stage for the second careers of over 175 off-track Thoroughbreds, showcasing their versatility and athleticism. With support from the Indiana HBPA and Baoma Corp as Day Sponsors, alongside many generous industry sponsors, the event is a celebration of Off-Track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) in their new careers. cc @IndianaHBPA & @BaomaCorp The show will offer a variety of classes for Thoroughbreds, including hunter, jumper, combined test, pleasure, dressage, western and in-hand. A highlight of the show is the Specialty Thoroughbred Awards, which celebrate the OTTBs’ achievements during their racing careers, including awards for the horse with the most earnings, the horse that sold for the most as a yearling, and the lowest speed figure. More than 175 Thoroughbreds from across the Southeastern U.S. are expected to compete. All sponsorships, exhibitor fees and funds raised go directly towards New Vocations’ mission of rehabilitation, retraining and rehoming retired racehorses.
