Kentucky Horse Park! - by Gabi

We went to the Kentucky Horse Park.  We saw a lot of horses.  There were horses everywhere!  We walked by Rolex Stadium where mom says they were having the National Junior and Young Rider 2013 Championships.  We watched Dressage yesterday and today they were jumping.  It was cool to watch them because they jumped high! 

We went to ride ponies.  They were nice.  

We watched a bunch of horse shows today.  We saw famous racehorses today.

We also saw the Horses of the World show.  My favorites were the Appaloosa, the white Thoroughbred, and the Chincoteague Pony! From Assateague Island where we went!

They had lots and lots of other kinds of horses too.

In the kids’ barn there were horses and all sorts of things to play and learn with.  

We went to the Mare and Foal show – they had Miniature horse foals.

We walked to the horse park and back.  It was a lot hot.  

I love the horse park – it is a big, happy place!
