We were invited by a friend to attend a hunter/jumper show. It was amazing! Parking and entrance to the event was free, and we had amazing seats in the grass right where the action was best.

No one in my family has ever done anything like this before so it was all new to us.

We were watching a Grand Prix competition, meaning the competitors included past Olympians, and future Olympic hopefuls. The event lasted only a couple hours and was an easy introduction to the world of competitive horse sports. The best part was being able to be so close to the action!

I don’t think anyone in our family will ever become a competitive equestrian, but I love the opportunity to introduce the kids to new ideas and experiences to inexpensively. We have a wonderful world class competion
