News & Notes:
Over 300 Thoroughbreds will compete in this year’s Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover in Lexington, Ky. To be held October 27-30 at The Kentucky Horse Park, this competition showcases the versatility of the Thoroughbred breed. Ten equestrian disciplines will be featured throughout the four-day competition, and it’s a great way to learn all about the efforts that go into re-training a racehorse. [RRP Thoroughbred Makeover]
This has to be one of the cutest stories ever told. This little boy made BuzzFeed headlines after his parents surprised him with his first pony. Sebastian saved for three years by selling lemonade for his first pony, and his dreams came true a few days ago. You have to see the story, and you might want to grab some tissues beforehand.
