Heroes & Horses
Derby Day at Freedom Farm
Mark your calendars for May 2, 2026, and get ready for a day of fun, flair, and fast horses at Freedom Farm! Join us for the inaugural Heroes & Horses Derby Day, a lively Kentucky Derby–inspired celebration set against the beautiful backdrop of Whispering Grace Horses.
This exclusive event is limited to just 100 guests, creating an intimate, unforgettable Derby experience you won’t find anywhere else. When the tickets are gone, they’re gone—so be sure to secure yours early!
Spend the afternoon enjoying authentic Derby-inspired fare prepared by Chef Bobby Hodge, sipping on classic mint juleps, and joining in the excitement of raffles, contests, and prizes throughout the day. Come dressed to impress—break out those bold hats and sharp bow ties—and compete for bragging rights in our Best Hat and Best Dressed Gentleman contests!
But this day is about more than great food, fun fashion, and cheering on the Derby. Every ticket supports the life-changing work of Whispering Grace Horses and Freedom Farm.
