For Karen Parsard, the 2025 Champion Breeder at Caymanas Park, the journey into horse racing wasn’t paved with a lifelong love of the sport. For 13 years, she didn’t know her husband liked horses and had nothing to do with them. Instead, her path to the top was born from a much deeper well – her unwavering devotion to her family. Parsard’s foray into the high-stakes, expensive world of horse breeding began with her father-in-law, Harry Parsard, a prominent figure in horse racing who became involved in the sport after falling ill.
