An Old Friends at Cabin Creek and Racing for Home, Inc. fundraiser
Join us on Monday, July 29
We had so much fun last year, we're back for more! Old Friends at Cabin Creek and Racing for Home, Inc. are AGAIN joining forces for the horses! Come out and enjoy delicious food and drinks at Nove Italian Restaurant and help support two organizations working to give our Thoroughbred ex-racehorses a new chapter after their racing days are done. We'll support aftercare with a great dinner, silent auction, and a short program emceed by Mary Eddy, Communications Strategist at the New York Racing Association and Old Friends at Cabin Creek volunteer.
This year's Thoroughbred industry honoree is Rick Schosberg, retired trainer and a champion for aftercare. A graduate of Cornell University, Rick trained for 35 years with tremendous success, winning marquee races with horses like Affirmed Success and Maria's Mon. Involved in many aspects of the industry, Rick serves as President of Take 2/Take the Lead Thoroughbred Retirement Program and is also the Vice President of the New York Thoroughbred Horseman's Association (NYTHA).
About Old Friends at Cabin Creek:
Old Friends at Cabin Creek, the Bobby Frankel Division, is Saratoga county's only thoroughbred retirement farm and one of the few that will take thoroughbred stallions. Our purpose is to provide dignified retirement for all racehorses, both known and unknown. Completely staffed by volunteers and run entirely on donations, our goal is to provide a natural, nurturing forever home to retired racehorses, and offer the public an up-close and personal experience with our thoroughbred horses. We are open to the public year round with many special events during track season. Old Friends at Cabin Creek is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.
About Racing for Home, Inc.:
Racing For Home was founded in 2010 by Acacia Courtney Clement and Sherrie Courtney. The mission is to help transition retired racehorses, one Thoroughbred at a time, for a second career. This includes helping to network other Off-Track Thoroughbreds (OTTB’s) and connect them with prospective homes off the track. Others, we take in to our program to rehabilitate and retrain, all of which get considerable let down time to acclimate to life off the track. Based in Connecticut, Racing for Home is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and exists because of hard working volunteers and generous donations.
Thank you for your support! We can't wait to see you on July 29!
