ThoroughBred Sport Horse: Thoroughbred Horse show Association

The Thoroughbred Horse show Association was created to develop horse shows exclusively for Thoroughbreds that are registered with The Jockey Club. These shows are designed to showcase Thoroughbreds in their second careers. Thoroughbreds are naturally competitive and our logo of a horse jumping out of a paddock symbolizes these horses are not ready to retire.

Shows are geared for Thoroughbreds just starting their show careers with entry-level divisions in multiple disciplines, including dressage, combined training, hunter/jumper, and in hand. They provide an affordable opportunity to give your Thoroughbred valuable show experience while helping rescue organizations place Thoroughbreds in new homes.

Our Mission Statement: The "Thoroughbred Horse Show Association" was created to develop quality entry-level horse shows, to showcase the talents of the Thoroughbred that would encourage adoption and ownership.

A Word From The Owner

Hi, I am the owner and Trainer of Thoroughbred Sport Horses. I have been riding and training for 40 years. I competed mostly up in New England both as a Hunter Jumper rider and A Gymnast. Pony Hunters through Medal Maclays up through all levels of the Jumpers. As an adult I spent some time on the race track galloping and breezing Thoroughbreds. I wanted to learn their life to be better at understanding them.

I competed as a child from 5 until 20. All my weekends were of Saturday and Sunday competitions. I was very successful in both sports. Of course, with no childhood and only training and competing it was inevitable. I worked hard. But, what I received the most out of this was the life lessons which has made me strong today.

I learned how to fail first. I believe if you don't' know how to fail then you will never succeed. Then how to persevere and not give up. I learned that the ribbons will come (Quote from trainer Jane Dow Burt). And they did.

What's most important is that you learn and your partner learns each time you step in the ring.

Now that I am an adult I wanted to contribute my knowledge and skills to help benefit these great horses and help riders find the best partners. I have chose to give my life to the Thoroughbred Industry. I have a love and passion for horses and especially the Thoroughbred. I am humble and happy at the same time to say that I have made a huge difference in continuing the training and rehoming of these special horses. The success is because of many reasons.

Of course Safety Comes First Very important to me.

1. I truly care where these horses go.

2. Its important to me that the new owner is happy with the horse. Other wise the future of the horse is jeopardized.

3. I put individual care and training into each horse. I know each horse very well and place them accordingly with their new owners.

4. I stay in touch with the owners and assist and help if needed.

5. I guarantee both equine and new owner of satisfaction with an exchange policy.

In closing I first want to say, Thank you to all our customers who have been so wonderful in giving these great horses new homes and care and love. To our new customers, we welcome you and will try and help you in any way we can to make this a fun and enjoyable experience.
