2026 Trainers Challenge | Week 1 | Mollie & Brydown Big Kisses

Welcome to Week 1 of the 2026 New Start Standardbred Trainers Challenge! This week, we’re checking in with Mollie and her partner, BRYDOWN BIG KISSES. As the only mare in this year’s Trainers Challenge, BRYDOWN BIG KISSES is bringing her own personality, perspective, and energy to the competition. Follow along as Mollie shares her first week getting to know her new partner, building trust, and beginning the transition from racehorse to riding horse. Every horse starts this journey differently, and Week 1 is all about learning who they are, what motivates them, and where their strengths lie. We’re excited to see what the weeks ahead have in store for this pair. What has surprised you most about BRYDOWN BIG KISSES so far?
