The MTHA recognizes the contributions of backstretch workers who form a community dedicated to the daily care and well-being of our equine athletes seven days a week year-round. Many begin their day at 4 a.m. and return later in the afternoon to feed the horses in their care.
To submit a worker to be considered, email their name, position and a summary of why they deserve this award to info@mdhorsemen.com.
