Non-Thoroughbred Horse Group Meets
KENTUCKY...
A new horse industry group formed in Lexington will focus on the different breeds and disciplines not related to thoroughbred racing.
Group organizers say the Kentucky Equine Networking Association will strengthen the equine business that gets less attention, like pleasure, saddle and sport horses.
Member Robin DeGraff said the group will provide networking and resources. DeGraff says there ought to be a group for trainers, instructors, and service providers outside the thoroughbred industry.
The group has had two start-up meetings, which attracted more than 100 people each. DeGraff says one of the biggest topics discussed so far has been how to make it through a bad economy.
