Kyle Rothfus

President and Co-Founder

Best known as 'Kyle the OTTB Mare Guy,' Kyle Rothfus is the co-founder of Mareworthy Charities and Horse Husband Stables, two organizations dedicated to lifetime care for Thoroughbreds. A five-time Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover competitor (2015-2019) and 2017 Ambassador Award recipient, Kyle's journey in the Thoroughbred industry evolved from OTTB advocate to breeder and owner when he bred his 2015 Makeover mare, Lady Macjazz. Her daughter, Lady Dyanaformer, became their first racehorse and helped fund the launch of Mareworthy Charities. Today, Horse Husband Stables operates a growing breeding program and shares their journey through Club HHS, while Mareworthy Charities champions the protection of retired broodmares through education and advocacy.

Based in Georgetown, Kentucky, Kyle lives with his husband Sean, managing their farm filled with horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, dogs, and cats. His active participation in the racing industry drives his mission to inspire comprehensive lifetime planning for Thoroughbreds and strengthen the future of racing in the United States.
