Dressage World Cup

 

The Dressage World Cup April 20th - 23rd held in Las Vegas. Usually being held in Europe this is not something you get to see every year. I will be doing a daily report of the results and of the events of the day. If this is not possible due to internet connections I will be doing a full report upon my return.

April 20th is a warm-up day where you are able to watch the rider's train. I will be attempting to acquire a ticket to this when I arrive. When I bought my tickets to the show there were none available at that time.

This will be a very exciting show. I can't wait to see some of the top riders from around the world.

Check back for full reports.
