The World Equestrian Games are to be held in Lexington, Kentucky, September 25 – October 10. The games bring the world together with many people’s love and wonder of horses. The games show the world the variety and strengths of the different horse breeds. Some of the events to be held are dressage, eventing, driving, reining, jumping, endurance, and a few more. This year the agricultural world is lucky in that Alltech is sponsoring and hosting the games.
