Thoroughbred Aftercare Summit October 12, 21

What is the Thoroughbred Makeover?

https://www.tbmakeover.org/about-the-makeover

Register to attend the below sessions in person at the Kentucky Horse Park during the Thoroughbred Makeover or virtually via Zoom.

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Summit is produced as a joint effort by the Retired Racehorse Project, Thoroughbred Charities of America, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, and The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program. Focusing on education and networking among those with a professional interest in the retraining and rehoming of Thoroughbreds, topics of discussion include finance, business management, board governance, grant-and-sponsorship-seeking best practices, and issues unique to the aftercare industry.

A $10 registration fee will go towards a 50/50 raffle. Half will support the costs of producing the Summit, and the other half will be drawn at random to benefit one of the aftercare organizations represented by the attendees.

In-person attendees will go to the Club Lounge above the Covered Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.

Virtual attendees will receive Zoom access instructions in their confirmation email. Zoom access will remain the same throughout the Summit.

2021 Summit seminar topics are as follows:
