It was a beautiful early spring evening on May 6th for Mane Stream’s inaugural, Party in the Paddock. The first event held at the farm in years, this event showcased Mane Stream’s programs with demonstrations by participants from our adaptive riding and therapy programs, great food and drink, raffles, and tons of Kentucky Derby-themed fun. Highlights of the evening included our LIVE Kentucky Derby Race streaming, Kentucky Derby “Betting” and our 1st Staff Derby featuring Instructors Kelly Champion and Elke Phillips, Volunteer Coordinator Assistant Renae Flanagan, and Barn Manager Alex Willard. It was a nail-biter, but Renae managed to clinch the win…thank you to all of our Staff Derby sponsors and guests who “bet” on our staff participants! The grand prize of the event, the Red Rose Ticket, was won by Marianne Saladino, which included a hand-painted Lawn Jockey, limited edition Courtly Horseshoe from MacKenzie Childs, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Edition Bourbon, and a set of Derby and Oaks glasses.
We hope everyone enjoyed the evening! All proceeds from the event go directly to support the children and adults with special needs who participate in Mane Stream’s adaptive riding, therapy services, summer camp, field trips, and Horses for Healing programs.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone again next year! Please mark your calendars for May 4, 2024….to celebrate Mane Stream and the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby
