The 2021 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover is just around the corner, to be held Oct. 12 – 17 at the Kentucky Horse Park. And they are looking for volunteers! There are plenty of no-experience-required positions open, as well as a few show-skilled “authoritative” roles such as schooling attendants, a dressage steward and a prize coordinator.

All interested volunteers can sign up through our volunteer portal here. Volunteers receive a t-shirt, hat, lunch and ample snacks/drinks, a discount at the RRP Store at the Makeover, and undying gratitude for helping RPP put on this year’s historic “Mega-Makeover”!

As for USEA and schooling horse trials, there are many opportunities to be had as well. As always, you can earn merit points when you donate your time through the USEA’s Volunteer Incentive Program. Registering to volunteer through EventingVolunteers.com makes it easy and seamless to both find a job and shift as well as learn what your role will entail.
