Kentucky Ag Connection - 05/27/2016

The Kentucky Horse Park Commission Thursday selected Laura Prewitt to serve as the executive director of the Kentucky Horse Park.

"We believe that Laura's expertise in strategic planning, media and PR, human resources, management, and business development, coupled with her lifelong involvement in the horse industry in Kentucky, makes her uniquely qualified to serve as the Executive Director of the Horse Park," said Tandy Patrick, chair of the Kentucky Horse Park Commission, "the Commission is energized and enthusiastic about the future, and we look forward to Laura's leadership."

The Kentucky Horse Park, located in Lexington, Kentucky, is a 1,224 acre equestrian facility dedicated to "man's relationship with the horse." Each year the park is host to a number of high profile events and horse shows. The park is home to the International Museum of the Horse, the most comprehensive museum in the world dedicated to exploring the important history of all horses and their impact on human civilization.

Prewitt most recently served as Executive Director of the Breeders' Cup Festival, where she organized, directed and supervised the week-long event. Previously, Prewitt served as director of operations and then general manager of Lexington Off-Track Betting, LLC. Prewitt has years of leadership experience in the equine industry.

"This is an outstanding selection by the commission," said Don Parkinson, secretary of the Cabinet of Tourism, Arts and Heritage, which oversees the Kentucky Horse Park, "Laura Prewitt's business and equine expertise will be an asset to the Kentucky Horse Park as it continues to grow into the leading, year-round equine destination in the world. We thank Jamie Link for his years of service."

"It is an honor to be selected to serve as executive director of the Kentucky Horse Park," said Prewitt. "I look forward to serving the Kentucky Horse Park and I will work diligently to ensure that the park remains the premier equine facility in the world."
