Dr. Bridgette Jablonsky leaving Hanover Shoe Farms

Dave Briggs of Harness Racing Update reports that one of the key figures in the modern success of harness racing’s most storied breeding farm is leaving at the end of the year to open her own equine consulting business. Dr. Bridgette Jablonsky, the executive vice-president and syndicate manager of Hanover Show Farms, told HRU on Saturday that she is leaving the famed Pennsylvania nursery on good terms, something farm president and CEO Russell Williams confirmed.

“Bridgette and I are good friends… We’re parting on excellent terms. Once she’s been away from the daily grind, then it’s going to be even more fun when we meet up at a sale or a race or an event and compare notes,” Williams said.

“Russell is very supportive of my decision and it’s just a new phase in my life,” Jablonsky added.

In her 26 years at Hanover, Jablonsky has developed an exceptional reputation for her equine expertise, passion for horses and tireless work ethic.

Since graduating from veterinary school in 1996, Hanover Shoe Farms has been Jablonsky’s only employer.

Williams said Jablonsky will be tough to replace, but he wishes her the best in her new career.
