Hunter Jumper Show

What an amazing day this was! We spent most of our time at the show watching riders of all levels competing in jumping and show events. We could walk from one arena right over to the next one and just enjoy it all. There are some magnificent horses here, and there is simply nothing like a properly dressed English rider. They have a poise and dignity all their own that is both striking and beautiful.

In the afternoon we took in a few Horse Park events. We watched the Hall of Champions seeing some of the great race horses who are retired here at Kentucky Park. Cigar was our favorite. He had an amazing career and is just so regal and beautiful.

Next we watched the Parade of Breeds where unusual horse breeds are presented with riders dressed in native costume. This was a great presentation. The most regal Andalusian's stole the show.

We also walked thru the International Museum of the Horse before getting back to the horse show. We stayed there till it closed for the day and then went back to the bbow for dinner. Gary grilled steaks and that was such a treat. Taryn had a little swim and then we made s'mores with Gary.
