The fifth annual Battle in the Saddle Celebrity Team Penning Event returns to the Kentucky Horse Park's Covered Arena Friday, September 29, 2017. The event pairs two amateur riders with a celebrity guest rider competing to see who has the skills and bravery to pen a group of cattle in the quickest time. Celebrities participating include legendary jockeys Pat Day and Chris McCarron, as well as the husband-wife combo of trainer Joe Sharp and former rider Rosie Napravnik.
The Battle in the Saddle will also include a “Horse Farm Challenge”–a friendly competition between those teams sponsored by area horse farms. In addition to the prizes awarded to the top three overall winning teams during the competition, special prizes will be awarded to the three Horse Farm teams with the best times of the night.
General admission is $10 per person, with children 12 & under admitted free with the purchase of an adult ticket. Tickets are also available to a pre-competition cocktail party and dinner for $100 per person. Dinner tickets must be purchased in advance. To pre-order, call the Foundation office at 859-255-5727.
All proceeds from the benefit event will support the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation. For more information about the event, visit www.khpfoundation.org.
