Named one of beneficiaries of
Pimlico Racetrack Horse Show
Glenville, PA -
Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue (www.saveahorsenow.org) is honored to announce they
have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Totally Thoroughbred
Horse Show at Pimlico Racetrack, Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday July 14, 2012.
The horse show is
the brainchild of Georganne Hale, Maryland Jockey Club Racing Secretary and
Stacie Clark-Rogers, manager of Adena Springs Retirement program in Canada.
There will be eight
different classes held in the infield of the racetrack during the day with six
ribbons awarded for each class and more than $4000 in prize money. HTRV will
streamline the horse show live from Pimlico.
Classes include:

Walk/Trot/Canter, “HRTV” Trot over Fences, “MTHA” Trot over Fences, “Adena
Springs” Trot over Fences and the “Pimlico Perpetual Trophy”. Vendor tents will
be set up in the infield and spectators are welcome.
Jo Deibel,
Founder and Director of Angel Acres, said, “Angel Acres is super happy that the
Md. Jockey Club and Adena Springs Retirement Farm put this show together as it
helps to raise awareness about all of the outstanding Thoroughbreds that are
available and are looking for second careers at rescues around the nation.”
The money
from the horse show entries will be divided among 3 horse rescue charities that
have helped the track find homes for horses that raced in Maryland. In addition
to Angel Acres they include, MidAtlantic Horse Rescue and Thoroughbred
Placement Rescources. Both Angel Acres and MidAtlantic Horse Rescue are
accredited by GFAS. (Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries)
