Horses on a Kentucky farm are helping men build sober lives, gain work in racing industry
Read Original Source
Thoroughbred horses are helping men trying to carve out clean and sober lives on a sprawling Kentucky farm. It’s home to a program that offers addicts who’ve never been around the 1,000-pound animals a chance to care for them with the goal of landing an equine-related job and putting themselves on a new path. Jonathan Tincher’s prison tattoos are seen as he holds back the tail of a mare while she undergoes an ultrasound on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, in Nicholasville, Ky.
