The RRP Thoroughbred Makeover Class of 2018, Presented by Kentucky Performance Products

For many students, graduation season is right around the corner. But for the class of the 2018 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover the training has just begun. With some help from our friends at Kentucky Performance Products, we decided to check-in with some of the hunter jumper hopefuls competing at this year’s Makeover.

Second ride in the outdoor for the little man! #ottb #jumper #retiredracehorseproject2018

Training Betty’s Bambino, now an Off Track Thoroughbred, to canter in the arena. He will compete in the #RRPMakeover in Kentucky in October. Leg on, trot, trot, trot, faster, faster, faster…CANTER! Always a fun lesson with trainer Jasmine Hobart & commentary by owner @allieconradphotography * * #bettysbambino #ottb #exracehorse #jasminehobarteventing #racehorse #retiredracehorse #retiredracehorseproject #santaanita #thoroughbredaftercare #retiredracehorseproject2018 #welovehorses #horseofalifetime #afterthefinishlineottbcharity #afterthefinishlinethoroughbredcharity #giddyup

My “Freak Of Nature” Dawson. So much potential. We were working on straightness, leads and square turns. He did so well. #horses #horse #instahorse #horsesofinstagram #ottb #ottbofinstagram #ottbsofinstagram #thoroughbred #thoroughbredsofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianlife #equestrianlifestyle #showjumping #showjumper #showjumpersofinstagram #retiredracehorse #retiredracehorseproject #retiredracehorseproject2018

3rd ride outside for #jubilee I’m so proud of her. She’s truly enjoying settling into her new job. This week we’ve moved to riding outside, dealt with sheep, dogs, 4 wheelers, water jumps, banks, ditches, the “sandbox”, and even went down the road a small stretch. She’s such a cool soul 🦄💜🥕

Every week we try a little bit harder ❤️ Alec has become such an incredible horse and athlete. He answers every question with yes, of course I’ll try. And that he does, with flying colors. #alecsmakeover #alecsjourney #stormyjason #tbmakeover2018 #rrp2018 #c4equestrianteam #caitlinromeoeventing #woodlawnfarm #teamal #teamalec #teamgreen #thoroughbreds #retiredracehorseproject #makeover2018 #makingthoroughbredsgreatagain
