This is our 2nd annual attending of this awesome 'show'. We brought friends who totally enjoyed the experience too. This year we took cushions with to sit on the 'cool' metal bleachers. (Good idea) There are plenty of parking areas, food tents, satellite facilities and a huge arena to enjoy the horse events. Visiting the 'barns' before the show was a great experience in itself. Seeing the horses up close, interacting with the pleasant staff, picture taking...all super experiences. The 'show' itself was beyond wonderful. Clydesdales, Percherons and Belgium horses each weighing a ton were majestic, beautiful, and huge to say the least. When they went past the area we were at...it was like thunder. WOW.
