There has been some confusion surrounding the BEYOND the backstretch divisions at horse shows and what our mission truly is.

So let’s clear it up.

BEYOND the backstretch is NOT just another showcase for Thoroughbreds.

Yes — we are incredibly proud to highlight the versatility, athleticism, heart, and talent of the Thoroughbred in the show ring, dressage arena, and combined training world. But our mission goes far beyond competition.

We exist to create REAL impact for Thoroughbreds beyond the racetrack.

As we’ve expanded, we’ve partnered with horse show managers to add BEYOND the backstretch divisions to their events. We provide prizes and ribbons to support these divisions, and in return, shows donate a significant portion — and sometimes ALL — of the proceeds back to BEYOND the backstretch.

And where does that money go?

Straight to Thoroughbred aftercare and rescue organizations.

That is the heart of what we do.

Each year or two, we select organizations to support not only financially, but through awareness, promotion, storytelling, and community support. This year, we are proudly fundraising for and the .

At its core, BEYOND the backstretch does three things:
• Showcases the incredible talent and adaptability of Thoroughbreds
• Gives back to Thoroughbreds in need
• Shines a spotlight on the organizations doing the hard, compassionate work every single day

But none of this happens without YOU.

Every ride. Every entry. Every share. Every tagged post. Every supporter.

Together, we are not just promoting Thoroughbreds.

We are advocating for them, supporting them, and helping create a better future BEYOND the backstretch.

EXCITING! Wishing Tree Farm has invited BEYOND the backstretch 2’3” division into their series this year🩷🐎

is an accomplished equestrian professional, trainer, and horsewoman based in Blossvale, New York. She is the owner and lead trainer of Wishing Tree Farm (formally Hunter’s Landing) a hunter/jumper training and boarding facility she co-owns with her husband, Jason Lasher. Since 2011, the Lashers have built a program recognized for thoughtful training, exceptional horse care, and a successful, goal-oriented environment for riders and horses alike.

With more than two decades of riding and showing experience, Kelly has competed successfully at a local, A-rated, ISHA and AQHA level.

She is especially respected for her work with young and developing horses and is a passionate advocate for Thoroughbreds, admiring their heart, intelligence, and versatility.

Kelly attended the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover in 2018, 2019, 2023, and 2024, and is planning to return in 2026, continuing her commitment to showcasing Thoroughbreds in meaningful second careers beyond the racetrack.

Beyond her accomplishments in the saddle, Kelly is a positive, patient, and supportive trainer. Her calm, encouraging approach—evident both at home and in the show ring—creates confident riders and happy horses, and reflects her belief that correct training and kindness go hand in hand.

I strongly encourage you to take a few minutes and check out the new branding, Wishing Tree Farm, the new logo tells a story, and represents the future. www.wishingtreefarm.com
