As the October sale at Fasig-Tipton comes to a close we wanted to recognize some of our residents who worked the sale. We recieved nothing but amazing feedback from Taylor Made Farm on their positive attitudes and hard work ethic. Days at the sales can be long, but they showed up each day ready to work. The sales teach them valuable skills that they will take with them into their full time positions after graduating the School of Horsemanship.

This week’s School of Horsemanship speakers were Tanner Reisman and Tim Schmidt, cohosts of the Next-Gen Thoroughbred Podcast and grooms at Claiborne Farm. Tanner and Tim shared their personal stories of how they found their way into the equine industry, offering an inside look at what life is like working hands-on with horses every day. They also shared about the life changing and inspiring stories they have been able to share through their podcast. One of the biggest takeaways from their visit was the reminder of just how life-changing horses can be — and how many doors this industry can open for those willing to put in the work.

On Saturday, Chris completed the highest achievement here at Stable Recovery, becoming a legacy graduate. A resident becomes a legacy when they have completed the entire year of the program. Chris has put in the hard work this year and shown up day in and day out with maximum effort. He is currently working full-time for Stable Recovery as the intake coordinator. We are so proud of this accomplishment!

At Spy Coast Farms, which is largely operated by women, both the mares and women battling substance abuse are getting a second chance. More below 👇

A huge thank you to Spy Coast Farm for their incredible generosity in providing a new transportation van for our women’s program.

The women’s program has been underway for about a month now at Spy Coast, and it’s been inspiring to watch the participants grow in both skill and confidence. Each day, they’re gaining valuable hands-on experience at the Reproduction Center. They are learning the fundamentals of equine care, breeding, and the broader sport horse industry.

In addition to their daily work, the women also take part in specialized skill labs alongside Spy Coast’s interns, giving them the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and deepen their understanding of the field. This collaboration has been instrumental in building both their technical skills and their confidence in pursuing future careers.

We are so grateful for Spy Coast Farm’s continued support and partnership. Opportunities like this make a lasting impact, helping these women develop the tools, experience, and connections they need to succeed in their next chapter. We look forward to seeing all they accomplish at Spy Coast and beyond.

We also want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who has donated items to the program; they are truly appreciated! If you are interested in donating, please visit: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/srdonationform

October 4 was a special day for Stable Recovery as we were recognized by Keeneland for our partnership and the work we do to support individuals in recovery through the horse industry. We’re deeply thankful for Keeneland’s continued hospitality and commitment to creating opportunities that bring hope, healing, and second chances.

Our entire program was able to enjoy a memorable day at the races, cheer on the incredible athletes that make this sport so inspiring, and stand proudly in the Winner’s Circle. This was a moment that truly represented how far our program has come. Thank you, Keeneland, for recognizing our mission and for your ongoing support of Stable Recovery and the people we serve.
