Persons passionate about equine welfare gathered at New Vocations at Mereworth Farm in Lexington, Ky., June 28 for the Kentucky leg of the Real Rider Cup. The Real Rider Cup is an equestrian team competition that raises money for Thoroughbred aftercare, and this year’s event in the heart of horse country raised over $650,000. Follow along with Alison O’Dwyer and her OTTB “Ralphie” (who raced as Big Ralph) as she rides for the 1/ST Racing team and learn about the Real Rider Cup’s mission from founder Anita Motion.
“A lot of the riders that do this do it every year,” says Motion. “And a lot of people that do it say it’s the most fun they’ve ever had.”
