The Road to the Horse is an annual colt-starting competition held at the Alltech Arena in the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky.
Three trainers are invited to choose a colt from a remuda of untouched three-year old quarter horses provided by the American Quarter Horse Association.
They then have a specified amount of time over three days to gently get a saddle and tack on the colt and ride it.
Road to the Horse is owned and produced by Tootie Bland.
