My husband and I recently attended our first musical freestyle equestrian event at the Del Mar, CA, Fairgrounds. In a big tented, open-air arena, we witnessed many amazing competitors. The first group was vying for a $1,000 prize and the second group of riders was competing for a $5,000 prize.
It was inspirational to see so many competitors having so much fun in the ring, doing what they had spent so many years practicing to earn a prestigious spot among those competing at such a high level.
To find out more about my experience there and at a horse jumping show the following week, you can read my blog.
