New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program fielded a team of 31 horse-and-rider pairs at the United States Pony Clubs Championships East at the Tryon International Equestrian Center July 27-29. Adopted Thoroughbreds and their Pony Club counterparts competed in the Pony Club Challenge competition in four disciplines: Dressage, Western Dressage, Eventing and Show Jumping.

The Pony Club Challenge was created to showcase the versatility of retired Thoroughbred racehorses as well as provide an educational experience to each Pony Club member. The program focused on adoption of horses that are often overlooked due to a past injury, stable vice or conformation, thus combating the many myths that surround each one.

“The Pony Club Challenge did exactly what it was designed to do: Showcase how much racehorses have left to give once they retire from the track,” said Sarah Coleman, Director of Community and Public Relations for New Vocations.
