The 10th annual New Vocations Charity Horse Show was a huge success with more than 1,100 entries and $50,000 raised to support racehorse aftercare.

The Indiana Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA) was the title sponsor of the event, which drew a record attendance. Many of the exhibitors came to show off their former racehorses in both the Thoroughbred specialty classes as well as open classes. Non-Thoroughbreds also competed showing their support of New Vocations’ efforts.

"It was truly great to see so many retired racehorses competing," said New Vocations program director Anna Ford in a release. "We are ever grateful to the terrific individuals and industry groups that supported the show through the various sponsorship opportunities. These sponsors and all the hard working volunteers make this event possible each year."

Thoroughbreds with backgrounds ranging from one start to more than 90, and from no earnings to more than $500,000, competed side by side proving that they can excel in new careers beyond the track. More than $6,500 in cash was awarded through sponsors and the Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program, along with ribbons and a selection of quality prizes
