What is Hats Off Day?
Hats Off to Kentucky’s Horse Industry Day celebrates the horse and its impact on the state of Kentucky. The day offers fun family activities, including arts and crafts for children, horse and pony rides, interactive educational booths, equine performance demonstrations, and a $50,000 Grand Prix show jumping competition.
As in previous years, Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital will generously host a VIP tent featuring a silent auction benefiting KYEAC, along with a live auction whose proceeds will be shared between KYEAC and the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation. Guests in the VIP tent will enjoy a catered dinner, open bar, and exclusive access to the Grand Prix jumping event. This fundraiser is incredibly important to us, and your support makes all the difference. The silent auction will be available online starting two weeks before the event—don’t miss your chance to participate!
