The National Horse Show is one of the most prestigious and historical equestrian events in the United States, best known for its long tenure in Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden. And while its current location at the Kentucky Horse Park might not have the same old-school glamour as the middle of New York City, there’s a lot of reasons to attend the show.
But first, here’s what you really want to know. If you can’t make it to Lexington, Kentucky, this week, you can still watch the competition in the arena live and for free at www.esports.net.
If you are in the area, here’s what you can expect to see and do at this year’s show.
