This Old Horse: Showcase & Open House
December 14 @ 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Since 2021, This Old Horse and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Equine Studies program partnered in an annual class offering called Racehorse Retraining.
Off-track Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds are matched with students who partner in the 12-week course that ends with a ‘show what you know’ showcase and adoption auction.
Students audition for spots in the class and learn the skills and techniques needed to transition a horse from a racehorse to a sport horse.
Students are required to complete midterm and final sales videos for their assigned horse to learn marketing techniques. Follow on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/UWRFRacehorseRetrainingProgram
One of the highlights of the holiday season, the showcase is open to the public and features presentations from the Minnesota racing industry.
