The free event, to be held
Sunday, Sept. 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Richmond-area James River Work
Center, will feature a ring exhibition showcasing many of the chapter’s
27-horse herd who are ready to move on to permanent homes.
The chapter’s Adopt-A-Thoroughbred Day
offers visitors ample time with trainers, adoption coordinators, and inmate
herd management staff to learn more about the horses. It also gives visitors a
chance to learn about the Second Chances program, a unique partnership that
exchanges JRWC land use for an equine care vocational training program for
offenders.
The day will feature a barn tour from 10 a.m. to noon. From
noon to 1 p.m. guests will be offered a special photo opportunity with Covert Action, the
grandson of Secretariat, and Multiple Choice, his great-grandson. Guests must
bring their own camera. The day’s ring exhibition will be conducted from noon
to 2:30 p.m., followed by one-on-one meetings with adoption staff. A tack sale
fundraiser will be offered throughout the day.
No RSVP is required for this event and visitors are welcome
to attend all or part of the day.
The James River Work Center is located at 1954 State Farm
Rd., State Farm, Va. in Goochland County.
