CARMA Horse Show Draws More Than 100 Retired Racehorses

Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show

Last weekend's Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show drew more than 100 retired racehorses thriving in their second careers at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank, Ca.

Hosted by CARMA (California Retirement Management Account) as an awareness campaign to promote the adoption of off-track Thoroughbred and foster connections between the racing and equestrian community, the event is the only of its kind on the West Coast.

“When we launched this event in 2012, we really wanted to give retired racehorses a welcoming environment to get experience in the show ring,” said Lucinda Mandella, executive director of CARMA. “Seeing horses who have gone through the Placement Program competing in the show brought everything full circle for us.”
