A wonderful piece on our Equine Business Certificate student, Lauren Bloss! ✨🐎

Every May, Churchill Downs draws global attention as the Kentucky Derby signals the arrival of the sport’s most celebrated season. While the event is known for its pageantry, marked by designer hats, mint juleps and celebrity attendees, at the heart of the Derby are 20 Thoroughbreds vying for the coveted garland of roses.

However, for all the attention paid to the Derby’s tradition and spectacle, far less is said about what happens to those horses once the racing ends – horses whose careers are short and futures uncertain.

That reality is what drew University of Louisville May 2026 Equine Business certificate graduate Lauren Bloss deeper into this area of the equine industry. Working alongside former champion jockey Rosie Napravnik, Bloss is helping retired racehorses transition into new roles beyond the track.

We also extend our appreciation to Gwen Davis, of Davis Innovation Marketing: Marketing of the Equine Industry, for engaging with our Current Equine Issues class and offering her expertise.

Their visits provided a great networking opportunity for our students and helped showcase the wide array of careers within the equine industry.
