Mark your calendars for October 16–19, 2025, and join us at the Kentucky Horse Park during one of the largest fall eventing competitions in the country, the Hagyard Midsouth Team Challenge & Three-Day Event. This premier horse show draws riders and fans from across the nation, and this year, it’s also now home to a unique fall art sale that gives back!
Set within Vendor Row at the Kentucky Horse Park, the Glass Pumpkin Patch Fundraiser invites guests to explore an incredible display of hand-blown glass pumpkins, each a one-of-a-kind work of art hand-made by glassblowing artist Greg Tomb. Even better, every purchase supports the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, helping us provide dignified lifetime care to retired thoroughbred racehorses.
One-of-a-Kind Glass Art – Browse hundreds of vibrant, hand-crafted glass pumpkins.
Fall Festival Vibes – Enjoy the sights and energy of one of the nation’s biggest fall horse shows.
Admission – Entrance to the Kentucky Horse Park allows you to enjoy the competition and vendor village for a small fee.
