The Indiana Thoroughbred Alliance (ITA) donated over $30,000 back to the Indiana Thoroughbred industry in 2022, including funds directly to Friends of Ferdinand's Broodmare Bunch, Children's TherAplay, and Otto Thorworth Ministries. The ITA's mission is to increase education and encourage awareness for the Indiana racing industry and the non-profit group also sponsored free webinars on nutrition, a seminar on barn fires, and a seminar on foaling and breeding season preparation.

“The board is forever grateful for the farms, owners, and businesses that continue to support the ITA in its one-of-a-kind mission,” says ITA board member Christine Cagle. “We hope to continue to grow the ITA's outreach in the years to come.”

ITA will host its third annual Stallions and Services Auction on Starquine.com from Dec. 16-19. The event offers seasons to stallions from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Florida, as well as stallion photography packages, veterinarian services, and marketing.
