A Thoroughbred Impact on Rodeo at University of Kentucky

The University of Kentucky is known for excellence in many sports. Rodeo is building toward becoming one of them. Founded in 2013, the team has steadily grown to incorporate Barrel Racing, Bull Riding, Goat Tying, and Team Roping.

Most horses on the team are Quarter-Horses, but one team in particular stands out thanks to an off-track Thoroughbred named Titan, who competed as a racehorse as Good Stuff and was sired by Popular. Emma Denno, Titan’s owner, bought him when she was 14 and started to train him on her own.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: An Exciting and Nerve-Racking Time

There’s no denying it now. We’re officially in crunch time for this year’s Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover, and I still have a lot of decisions to make. Not only are there only 79 days until the start of competition, but there are also only eight days for me to declare my potential second horse. Eight days to decide which, if any, of the makeover-eligible horses available to me I think has the best shot of showcasing their talent in an entirely new discipline and hopeful future career in only 79 days. Exciting! And utterly nerve-racking at the same time!

Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: Pep Talking’s Big Personality and Bigger Heart

When Al Gillen set out to adopt another horse from MidAtlantic Horse Rescue in 2022, he had a clear vision: something smaller, older, and ready to settle into a quieter life alongside his senior horse, Stardust. What he found instead was Pep Talking: a big-bodied, 6-year-old Thoroughbred with a bold personality and plenty to say.

Gillen had known Beverly Strauss of MidAtlantic Horse Rescue for nearly 20 years and trusted the process completely.
