Old Ironsides

With the 2018 BreyerFest theme as “Off To The Races,” the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance had a presence at the event as thousands of racing fans and equine enthusiasts descended upon the Kentucky Horse Park July 13-15. Here are a few scenes from the weekend captured by TAA inspections coordinator Suzie Picou-Oldham. Former jockey Rosie Napravnik and her OTTB Old Ironsides.     Old Ironsides greets a fan with an Old Ironsides Breyer model.   Maria Kabel and grade 1-winner and OTTB Brass Hat.   Brass Hat poses with fans and his own Breyer model.   Brass Hat checks out his Breyer model.   Brass Hat’s trainer Buff Bradley signs a Brass Hat Breyer model for a fan.   The TAA booth at BreyerFest.   Not an Thoroughbred, but a fixture on the racetrack as a lead pony. Harley The Magnificent (aka “Harley”), an American Sugarbush Harlequin Draft, greets fans during a demonstration.   Harley makes a new friend in OTTB Cozmic One, a son of Hall of Famer and Horse of the Year Zenyatta.
