Forman FamilyFoundation, which has established two scholarships forstudents at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine.“When I was a little kid in New Orleans,” added Harold,“we didn’t have much money, but there were a lotof expectations of us as kids to excel.” Every year,Forman’s father took him to the track at the LouisianaFairgrounds. Back then, $12 could get you a few Cokesand you could play the daily double.“I always said if I ever had the money I would buymy dad a racehorse,” said Harold. Thirty years ago,Forman got his big break and bought his dad thathorse.While his dad enjoyed horse racing, he really didn’twant to own a horse, so it became Harold’s first horse.Thirty years and some 300 horses later, Harold hasopened the Copper Crowne Equestrian Center, thenewest training center for thoroughbreds in Louisiana.Harold was always encouraged to succeed, andsupporting the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine10
