Well, it’s been a few months since we have updated everyone on Mr. Park’s progress for the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover. As it typically goes with off-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) in their first year of re-training, we have had some ups and downs, but it’s all just a part of the journey!
What type of animal can put you on an emotional roller coaster, shake your confidence and question your decisions…. then bring it all back in less than an hour? A horse. I’m here to tell you, no animal can do this better than a horse. Especially a retired Thoroughbred horse. This month has been a whirlwind of rights, wrongs, then really bad wrongs, and then back to super right.
With taking the leap to apply to the Thoroughbred Makeover, I knew I would be committing to a journey that would not only challenge me in the short term, but have a long lasting impact on my horse(wo)manship and a deeper love for the breed. Triple Crown season is upon us, the Makeover is approaching, and summer shows are right around the corner.
