TAKE2 Champions Gallery

The TAKE2 Second Career Thoroughbred Program is proud to celebrate our champions. The year-end TAKE2 High-Score Awards were introduced in 2013, and the first $20,000 TAKE2 Hunter/Jumper Finals were held in 2019. We introduced the Jet Run Awards in 2017, and the Junior Rider Award, presented by TCA, in 2018. Our champions have come in all shapes, colors and sizes, but each shows us just what a Thoroughbred is capable of achieving.
