@btestables_erin I certainly hope I can make everyone proud

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

@TomRyanKY OK, oops I am an idiot. He is actually 14! I was corrected by Sue Lyman. His owner 🐎🤩

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

Thank you ! And thank you for coming up with the name the Renaissance series it could not be more poignant at this moment!! Fun fact .. he is actually 13 ! Just hitting his peak showing age and like the reality is often with riding horses, their careers are far longer than any race careers that proceeded them. They are loved and cherished by the riders and families that have them from the time they are at the highest levels like this.. until they become the coveted older school masters that teach the beginner riders that start their careers. That’s why this can work and help us create the Thoroughbred ecosystem. We so badly need. Creating demand by giving the horses value and exposure at the highest level in the riding world, just like they were in the 1980s. Being there yesterday was one of the most electric and uplifting things I have attended in my horse loving life 🥰🥰🐎

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

It’s impossible because we are run by and regulated by the government.. the state governments actually which is why the leadership moved towards the federal plan w HISA. Nothing supersedes state government except for the federal government. No human elected or appointed could overrule those decisions.

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

I am on step one and have a plan of action where needle moving change can happen for our TBs second careers! Going to hit the ground running + hope it is just like the amazing @TBCharities board I am so lucky to serve on. That board is the most dynamic, hard working and well lead I have ever encountered. Excited to start and Ready to roll !

[Alexa Zepp @alexa_zepp]

Was a joy attending my first horse show yesterday and seeing so many Thoroughbreds thriving in their second careers! @MachmerHall

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

I did not run last time because of my own fear of failure … luckily I have learned since that success is just one last time failure was not an option! And I certainly thank everyone that voted for me. I’m very excited to use positive passion and my goal is to move the needle regarding second career TB sport horses. Having a seat at the table is very exciting.

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

The @USHJA TB task force I am so lucky to serve on has been the force here ! Thanks to an idea 💡 that popped in my head during the @OBSSales last year watching Layne show warmbloods in the Derbies + then many great people to put the plan in motion. I cannot believe how quickly this dream became a reality. Yesterday‘s competition at Upperville exceeded my expectations further than I ever thought possible. This is just the beginning of the Thoroughbred Renaissance and I thank people like @TomRyanKY @TBCharities board, Sue Lyman, Dayle Eldridge @JenRoytz … so many superstars . Hopefully I will have big big news forthcoming this month and this class will be just the start of something more special than I ever could have anticipated for our second career thoroughbreds! @craigbrogden as usual, my biggest supporter. Go Tbs!!

Giants Causeway stock still winning. 11yo Black Tavish.

Applauding Carrie Brogden for her trailblazing vision! By putting real prize money behind these Thoroughbred Hunter Derbies, she’s empowering more people to invest in Off-Track Thoroughbreds and compete on days like yesterday at Upperville. 60 entries in the class, what a day! Giving these horses second careers that last well into their teenage years and sparking a renaissance, bringing the Thoroughbred back to the show ring where it belongs. also a huge congrats on @MachmerHall election to the @BreedersCup Board. Carrie is changing the game. #OTTBs #Upperville #ThoroughbredRenaissance @BloodHorse @theTDN

[Tom Ryan @TomRyanKY]

Great to see this strong group running and taking a real interest in the @BreedersCup Gerry Duffy, Phillip Shelton, Charles O'Connor, John M.B. O'Connor, Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall, Lynn Hancock & @mahutky Hutton Goodman. Congratulations.

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

No that is BS.. solutions are real and I and the TB task force are importing real change and creating real demand for TBs back in the show ring . Money in the RIGHT spots creates needle moving change. Mania and $ w no plan do not. Today the TBs knocked it out of the park in the Inaugural 25k TB derby at the Upperville show and that is making a difference. Stop bitching and start doing and join the solutions and change the trajectory. This is real change and difference making. And it is just the beginning . If you want to be a part of it through POSITIVE PASSION we welcome you

This is not a productive discussion w solutions. This is mania …. You have to be able to have rational discussions to solve problems and implement change. I am always willing to have productive ideas implemented to help but there is no point here. Let me know if you want to look at solutions in a logical and rational way and I will be all ears

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

Millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year in shelters because there are not enough homes. That is reality. Horses of all breeds face the same reality + the Tbs are a small % of a large problem. Not talking about euthanasia is not being realistic and that is simply the truth

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

Once again there have to be solutions. I know from personal experience that there are homes for every sound reasonably young tb and every young breeding sound mare. Kind Euthanasia just like the dog and cat shelters + common sense have to prevail. The Tb is actually the luckiest bcs they are identified + often “bailed out” by former connections. The way to solve this has to be a multi layered , common sense solution w true leadership willing to tackle. To me, the breed I really see stepping up for their horses are the tb owners. The solution to this problem is being tackled + progress is being made

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

@GodCanAndWil @xenaroo11 @ASPCA Yes!!! @PatCummingsNTA just did a massive LTE for @theTDN change just happen to shut this down

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

The answer to kill pens is the same thing as the homeless issue. You cannot just throw money at it. If shipping to slaughter is illegal from the US it will disallow all of this and stop the kill pen scam.

My sisters ex is a dealer. I know all the ins and outs of the tricks and scams pulled over big hearted horse people .

Like anything there has to be a solution to stop the problem and if horses can no longer be shipped for slaughter the kills pens DIE immediately or be reported for violating the law.

That is how you stop this

[Carrie Brogden @MachmerHall]

The last horse we “bailed out” this is what the admin asst sent me as their protocol. This is a scam, money making machine on the backs of horse lovers.
