The franchise was first announced in May 2013. It announced that the Warhorses would be playing at the Alltech Arena on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park.[2] In July, it was announced the Warhorses would be a member of the Continental Indoor Football League.[3][4] Harry Lewis was introduced in August as the team's first head coach.[5] With former University of Kentucky quarterback, Shane Boyd leading the Warhorses,[6] they fell to the Northern Kentucky River Monsters 20-36, in what became an internet sensation game, due to Jared Lorenzen's 320-pound quarterback play.[7] The team fell into financial problems halfway through the season, cancellation of their four remaining home dates, and moving the league to seek new ownership for a possible 2015 season.[1][8]
