WHERE: Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park
 
WHY:   The purpose is to inspire children to discover the joys of reading and the excitement of learning through the wonders of live horses and Walter Farley’s Black Stallion books.  
 
HOW:  Members of the media, while there will not be an official press conference for this, please park in the designated Press Conference area at the Alltech Arena.  Inside the main doors to the arena, look for a volunteer with a "Media" sign. 

There will be a press conference at 11am at The Farmhouse regarding the Alltech National Horse Show, so please plan to attend both.
