The Blood-Horse reported that Kent Stirling, who has served as executive director of the Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association since 1995, will transition out of the position through the end of 2015.  His contract term expires Dec. 31.
The Florida HBPA said it will seek a replacement for Stirling during the transition process.
