Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Exciting Start to New Journey for Lindsay Gilbert and Imposing Ruler

My 2025 Thoroughbred Makeover story starts like most of my stories do — with questionable decision-making skills. I sat in my house scrolling on social media one frigid January evening, a barn full of personal and client horses just a couple hundred yards away. As I took in the dozens of horse-related posts that fill my newsfeed, one made me stop and backtrack. A cute chestnut with four white socks and a blaze caught my eye.

Know Before You Go: A Delayed 2025 Keeneland Spring Meet

Due to a possibly tumultuous first week in April in Central Kentucky, the Spring Meet at Keeneland Race Course will start a couple of days later than usual. The meet, originally scheduled to begin on Friday, April 4, will now start on Sunday, April 6 due to a weather forecast that calls for severe thunderstorms and potential widespread flooding for the period of April 2-5.

Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: Ellen and River Shannon, Love at First Sight

River Shannon and I have been together since December 2023, and we’ve had quite the journey so far! “River” is my first off-track Thoroughbred (OTTB), and I adopted him from the Secretariat Center in Lexington, Ky. I explained to Shelley Mann, Director of the Secretariat Center at the time I adopted him, that I had recently retired my heart horse from competition, so my new project horse would have pretty big shoes to fill.
