(Grand Prairie, Texas - Saturday, July 4, 2015) - The Paddock Foundation is hosting the Roses to Ribbons Old Fashioned Horse Fair event at Lone Star Park to help find a new home for Thoroughbred racehorses nearing the end of their racing career.

The Roses to Ribbons Old Fashioned Horse Fair will be held at Lone Star Park on Saturday, July 11 at 11:00 a.m. and is open to the public.
