The Real Rider Cup celebrated its 10th anniversary on July 11 at New Vocations at Mereworth Farm, bringing together 30 horse-and-rider combinations and spectators for an evening of friendly competition and fundraising in support of Thoroughbred aftercare. Although rain once again moved the event into the indoor arena, riders, volunteers, sponsors, and spectators embraced the change, creating an electric atmosphere while raising over $74,000 for Thoroughbred aftercare.

New Vocations’ 28th Annual Stallion Auction will be held online via OnGait.com February 3–5. This vital fundraiser supports the rehabilitation, retraining, and rehoming of nearly 100 retired Standardbred racehorses and broodmares each year. The auction will feature breedings to closed-book stallions Bulldog Hanover, Cattlewash, and Summa Cum Laude, plus more than 50 stallions across nine states and Canada
