I agree that Saddlebreds are very versatile. I have been around them all of my life driving and riding. Whether riding or driving and whether it be saddleseat, western, huntseat or bareback they are a very fun breed!

Thanks to the generosity of Maker's Mark, Marylou Whitney, Castleton-Lyons, the Keeneland Foundation and dozens of donors, the Kentucky Horse Park is now home to a new facility to re-train Thoroughbred racehorses for second careers.

Opened in October 2004, the 22-acre Maker’s Mark Secretariat Center, which is operated by the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, has space for 15-20 retired Thoroughbreds in re-training.

The Maker’s Mark Secretariat Center welcomes horses from other equine rescue and adoption organizations and promotes the good work of all participating organizations. This cooperative effort will pave the way for communication, cooperation and education among all Thoroughbred rescue operations.

The Kentucky Horse Park was an obvious choice for the sight of the project. Not only is it one of the most beautiful equine oriented facilities in the nation, but it attracts tens of thousands of horse-lovers each year. The beauty and versatility and of the Thoroughbred will be on display and at work everyday for all those visitors to see first-hand.

"We are thrilled about this opportunity to show all horse lovers how well Thoroughbreds adapt to new careers,” said TRF Executive Director Diana Pikulski. "We anticipate adopting out 100 horses a year. I cannot tell you how moving it is to see these racehorses as they make the transition to pleasure horses and pets. Needless to say, we are also extremely thankful to all the people who helped make this happen."

The facility is open daily to the public.

Office Hours: 9-5 Monday-Friday

Barn Hours: 10-3 daily or by appointment.
