The Germans truly put on an unbelievable spectacle at Aachen every year, from opening ceremonies to flawless galloping turf. They ran several days of vaulting competition prior to the opening ceremonies, have been running several jumping and dressage classes each day, and now are hosting a truly thrilling and picturesque Eventing competition.
The crowds have been big and appreciative all week, and I also imagine that there’s a great deal of beer steins and brats going around in the stands, which is never a wrong way to enjoy a horse show.
