The 2015 Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium kicked off today at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, with seminars on starting and managing an aftercare organization, soundness issues, repurchase exams, and selling or placing your Thoroughbred. Competitors also began showing their horses in polo, barrel racing, working ranch horse, eventing, and competitive trail. Several members of The Horse team are tweeting live from the event.  

Here’s a collection of top tweets and take-homes from the first day of the event. Be sure to follow @TH_StephLChurch, @TH_MNAnderson, @TH_ABeckstett, @THEricaLarson for more live tweets and updates from the event! We’ll also be posting updates on The Horse Instagram and Facebook accounts
