Tracey Caudill (formerly Keeler) has over 25 years of experience in the Thoroughbred industry. A lifelong horsewoman with an extensive background across a variety of breeds and disciplines, her love of Thoroughbred racing was nurtured while growing up in upstate New York near Saratoga. Upon completion of her Associates degree in Equine Science from the State University of New York, she moved to the Horse Capital of the World: Lexington, Kentucky, where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science (Equine Emphasis) from the University of Kentucky. Through grooming and management positions with several large breeding farms in the Bluegrass including Evergreen, Gainsborough, Elm Tree, Westover Ridge, and Lane's End, Tracey garnered an invaluable wealth of experience in all aspects of the Thoroughbred industry by working hands-on with the best of the best. In 2003, she purchased a small farm in Georgetown where she started her own successful Thoroughbred and pleasure horse boarding operation. After rapidly outgrowing that facility and meeting Clay Caudill, Tracey and Clay purchased Watershed Farm in August 2012 where the boarding and breeding operation has rapidly expanded to serve clients from across the country. Tracey is now dedicated to the equine management of Watershed as the farm continues to grow and serve as home to an ever-expanding roster of horses.
