HORSE WORLD EXPO PRESENTS...
strations and lectures at Expo. “Watch- ing these sessions will be super help- ful to those who are interested in the Makeover,” Pittman said. Lectures and demonstrations cover a wide variety of OTTB-themed topics including how to select a horse from the track and what to do once you get it home. According to Pittman, the highlight of this year’s Expo will be a rematch between four Maryland trainers who competed their horses in the 2016 Makeover. “We started doing these re- matches a few years ago at various expos around the country,” Pittman explained.
“It is really cool to see how much each horse has progressed in just a few months since the Makeover.” T is year’s Expo rematch will feature Where’s My Tail, a Florida-bred
mare trained in hunters and jumpers by DC resident Krysta Paradis. T e pair fi nished seventh in hunters and 13th in jumpers in Kentucky. Paradis is the only amateur in the rematch and Where’s My Tail is the youngest in the competition. Idle Spur is a gelding trained by Dyanna Capuano of Annapolis. T ey fi nished third in jumpers in Kentucky. Mi- chelle Warro, also of Annapolis, will be riding the Maryland-bred Play Like a Raven, the mare she fi nished sixth in eventing with in Kentucky. Smash and Grab, trained by Sabrina Morris of Frederick, placed fi fth in eventing and sixth in dressage in Kentucky.

Tom Seay
Trail Riding Ever want to pack up your horse and go on a week-long adventure? Or leave the horse at home and rent one during an exotic riding vacation? Well look no further as the expert has arrived! Tom Seay is the producer, host and trailmas- ter of the hit television series “Best of America by Horseback” and has spent countless hours in the saddle exploring America. At Expo, Seay shares his own personal experiences
to help spectators plan their own successful and safe trips. “Every one of these people have a dream riding vacation and we help them achieve that dream,” he stated. “I’ve found that people want to talk with someone who has extensive
experience in planning these sorts of trips,” Seay added. “T ey come with all sorts of questions as to how to bring their horse, go somewhere to ride without their own horse, what questions they should ask before booking that trip, what other activities are in the area for their nonriding family members…” T e list goes on and on! “We answer these questions and transfer those dreams into reality.” T e “we” that Seay is referring to is not only the entire team behind
“Best of America by Horseback,” but more specifi cally Kristen Brisco, who has come on board as co-host. “She’s a bit nicer to look at then me,” Seay said laughing. Together, they have transformed the series into not just trail riding, but giving viewers a glimpse at history such as the Trail of Tears or Jessie James’ last ride. And you can do those rides too! Seay’s talks at Expo, along with Brisco, will show people just how to plan those types of trips and what to expect along the way. “We create a safety net for people who want to make these sorts of trips,” Seay said.
Appearance Schedule Friday: 5-6 p.m., Seminar Hall A Saturday: 4-5 p.m., Seminar Hall A Sunday: 2-3 p.m., Seminar Hall A
