About the Horse Racing Womenβs Association
Founded in 2022, the Horse Racing Women's Association is a movement designed for the professional and personal development of women in horse racing. Our programming is fueled by three core pillars: to Engage, Elevate, and Invest in women as we believe it is the key to transforming our industry. In 2024, we celebrated inspiring speakers, tackled industry challenges, and took a moment to reflect on how personal growth can positively impact our professional performance. This year, we look forward to offering women opportunities to connect in horse racing hubs across North America.
