A Spectacular Opening

American pride with a stir of the melting pot was the theme of the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. The three-hour spectacle began with representatives from seven native American nations on native breeds, offering a prayer for the Games to go well, to celebrate the relationship between humans and horses, and for people worldwide to coexist together in peace. A crowd...

A Sunny Start

It's day 1 of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, and Mother Nature has smiled on Lexington, Kentucky. A cold front moved through yesterday evening, breaking the 90-plus-degree heat wave and giving the parched region a welcome drink of rain (albeit not nearly enough to revive the Bluegrass). Saturday dawned cooler, clear, and sunny, with highs in the upper 70s -- welcome relief for both humans...

If you own an iPhone, you can have the 2010 FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games at your fingertips. An iPhone app (free until September 17, according to Apple's iTunes store), called simply "WEG," is a nice guide to the WEG's eight equestrian disciplines, with descriptions of each plus links to each sport's promotional WEG YouTube video (also watchable on the iPhone). So when your friend or significant...

It's Labor Day weekend, and that means we're inside the 21-day-countdown mark to the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, September 25-October 10.

In previous posts (which you can read by clicking here and here ), I reviewed the US Equestrian Federation 's announced short lists for the driving, para-equestrian, eventing, jumping, reining, and dressage teams for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games . Now we're within the 30-day countdown window; and since I last wrote, the USEF announced the WEG short lists for the other two WEG disciplines...

A Look at the US Dressage WEG Selection Trials

Next to a World Equestrian Games or an Olympic Games, the most exciting competition may well be the selection trials for a WEG or an Olympic team. I wish I could have been ringside at all of the US trials for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky (hard to believe that they kick off a little more than one month from now!), but they're being held all over the country, and...

I fully intended to post this little video several days ago, but powerful storms and a subsequent power outage interfered with my plans. I couldn't make a trip to Lexington, Kentucky, for the 2010 American Horse Publications seminar without attempting to bring you a look at the state of the Kentucky Horse Park and its plans for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games . The video below was filmed...

We're Off to See the Wizard

In my favorite movie of all time, The Wizard of Oz , Dorothy, Toto, and friends set out down the yellow brick road in search of the “wonderful land of Oz” and the mighty wizard who lives therein. Well, there may not be a wizard proper where I’m headed, but as I write this, equine-media representatives from around the country are descending on Lexington, Kentucky, for the 2010 American Horse Publications...
