Retired Racehorse Trainer Challenge

Postby monicabee » Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:34 pm

If you haven't heard of this project, it is the brainchild of Steaurt Pittman of the Maryland based Retired Racehorse Retraining Project. Five weeks to train a horse who knows nothing but the track for exhibition at the Pennsylvania Horse Expo - a challenge even for professional trainers.

Here's an article from Chronicle of the Horse about it:

And the organization website:

It should be fun to see these horses progress.
