Being in the heart of horse country, especially the Thoroughbred industry, I attend a lot of fundraisers. My husband, Ben, also leads a couple of bands, so that also puts me behind-the-scenes at a lot of parties. When he mentioned his Western swing band Trouble was going to play at a fundraiser for the Permaently Disabled Jockeys Fund, I thought it was a great idea and immediately bought a ticket.

Then I found out that the theme of the "Riders Up!" fundraiser was jockeys singing karaoke.
