New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program has announced that the second barn at their new Kentucky facility has been generously sponsored by Robsham Stables and Mike Repole. This barn, located on the historic Mereworth Farm, will be named the Robsham-Repole Barn. The sponsorship is part of the New Vocations Capital Campaign that was launched in 2015 to build a racehorse adoption facility in the heart of the Bluegrass.

“I watched many times Mrs. Robsham and Mike Repole rooting for each other at the races, even when they were in the same race,” said Anna Ford, New Vocations program director. “The partnership is extremely meaningful to them and to all of us at New Vocations. The late Paul Robsham was instrumental in helping New Vocations obtain our 501(c)(3) status and Mrs. Robsham has continued to support our aftercare efforts each year. Mike Repole has also been an avid supporter of our program and was instrumental in helping us launch the Capital Campaign. Seeing both of their names on the barn sign will be a true honor.”

Repole said, “New Vocations’ vision, strategy, and commitment to continue to expand their aftercare efforts is something that is greatly needed in the racing industry and something I’m excited to support. Their new facility at Mereworth Farm will not only help hundreds of retired racehorses each year, it will also showcase all of the different future careers these amazing athletes have after they are retired from the racetrack. It’s more important than ever, that all owners and breeders financially participate in the future well-being of retired racehorses.”

Added Patricia Davis, Robsham family trustee, “When the Robshams were first introduced to New Vocations in the ‘90s, it brought them much comfort to know there was a safe place where their retired racehorses could go to find second careers. Paul was passionate about the program and adamant that it could become the largest in the country. He would be very proud of how New Vocations has grown and he would be honored to be a part of the new facility at Mereworth Farm
