The Fayette Alliance would like to thank the riders, volunteers, sponsors, and farms for making this year’s ride the best yet! On Saturday, October 29th, 250 riders gathered at Fasig-Tipton for the remarkable opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful thoroughbred farms in the Bluegrass, from the back of their bike. Riders had an inside look at the unparalleled natural beauty and history of our signature equine industry. As a gesture of support for The Fayette Alliance, Fasig-Tipton, Gainesway, Mt. Brilliant, Castleton Lyons, and Cobra Farm agreed to open their gates exclusively for this event. Riders also had a chance to visit Windy Corner Market. We are incredibly appreciative of the community’s support, and look forward to a wonderful event next year!
