Unbridled is an all-access pass for equine enthusiasts to sit in on intimate conversations with high-profile industry insiders, and go behind-the-scenes to learn from the worlds most accomplished and fascinating horse people. The award-winning series is contracted to broadcast its 10th season on HRTV in 2012.
Kayne’s goal is to utilize Unbridled as a platform to change the way people think about horses, especially thoroughbreds, “whether for pleasure or performance, ex-racehorses have many useful years ahead of them; they are affordable and readily accessible. I have retrained dozens of thoroughbreds off-the-track who are now winners in the hearts of children and adults, from backyard pets to A-circuit jumping champions, most of them came into Unbridled Stable wearing shoes made by THORO’BRED.”
THORO’BRED is a family-owned company started in 1949; their racing plates have been worn by legendary thoroughbreds Secretariat, John Henry, Cigar, Alysheba, Affirmed, and beloved champions Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta. THORO’BRED makes a multitude of shoes for horses engaged in other activities. In addition to traditional aluminum and steel shoes, THORO’BRED created a new glue-on system The Sticky Shoe* featuring their highly acclaimed Leg Saver® Pad for shock and impact relief.

“For over 60 years, THORO’BRED has dedicated its resources to producing shoes designed to preserve and prevent injuries to racehorses. We are delighted to present THORO’TALENT on the Unbridled series as a means to help promote the use of retired racehorses into 2nd careers. At THORO’BRED we are committed to manufacturing the best shoes for every stage of horses lives,” said Ed Kinney, President of THORO’BRED.
THORO’TALENT is a very timely addition to Unbridled, “since Congress lifted a ban on funding horse processing inspections as part of an agriculture spending bill (H.R. 2112) that President Obama signed on Nov. 18th horses can now legally be butchered for human consumption in the USA. This makes racehorses more vulnerable than ever because they are bred in the thousands every year. Most racehorses are not profitable, and now they are in greater danger of being killed instead of re-homed. It is my hope that THORO'TALENT, will serve to open the hearts and minds of viewers to see all of the wonderful things they can do with thoroughbreds,” said Kayne, who won most her jumping championships aboard former racehorses.
