Horses and Hope named official charity of 2015 Reining Cup

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – First Lady Jane Beshear announced Tuesday that Horses and Hope has been named the official charity of the 2015 Kentucky Reining Cup.

Horses and Hope works alongside members of Kentucky’s equine industry to provide breast cancer awareness, education, treatment, and screenings.  The program, which was started in 2008, has reached nearly a million race track and horse show attendees, and screened nearly 700 workers. 

All proceeds raised for the organization will go toward a new mobile screening van equipped to screen for seven types of cancer.

The Kentucky Reining Cup will be held at the Alltech Arena in the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington on April 24 through April 25.
