Lexington Equine Medical Hunter Pace & 5K was todays race photography adventure....Headed out this morning after a late outdoor movie night at friend's house. Big screen under the stars, popcorn machine, hot cider what a great time! BUT, it made for a short night for sleeping when I needed to up at ZeroDark:Thirty [ugh😫] Brutal! But I got up and off I went.
Kentucky Horse Park is like a small community within its self,
We have a few events here and I still have yet to see or be in all the different areas.
The fun-for-all event is an opportunity to ride or run over the hallowed ground of the Kentucky Horse Park, all to benefit a great cause – the Kentucky Horse Council! All funds raised from the event will be earmarked specifically to assist with KHC efforts in Eastern Kentucky. Runners will run a 5K trail course with the opportunity to navigate the same obstacles as the horses on the hunter pace course at 8 a.m.; at 11 a.m., the hunter pace will begin, with riders completing the course in one of three divisions – jumping, non-jumping and pleasure.
A variety of prizes are up for grabs for both riders and runners – including awards for best costume and best tailgate! Runners and riders will be able to purchase food from Toasties Gourmet and High Horizons Coffee Shop and Cafe food trucks; beverages from Maiden City Brewing Company and Country Boy Brewing will also be for sale.
The race supports the work and mission of the Kentucky Horse Council which is headquartered at the Kentucky Horse Park. Proceeds will be specifically earmarked for KHC work in Eastern Kentucky.
The Kentucky Horse Council is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and development of the Kentucky equine community through education and leadership. The KHC provides educational programs like large animal emergency rescue training and livestock investigation training; networking opportunities through the Dinner & Discussion series; personal liability insurance through individual and family memberships; and financial assistance programs for horse owners in need through the Save Our Horses (SOHO) fund.
