An annual highlight of the Washington International Horse Show is Barn Night, held this year on Thursday evening, Oct. 27. The 2016 edition of this equine variety show featured the Shetland Pony Steeplechase Championship Races, internet sensations Dolly & Spanky and, last but not least, the $35,000 International Jumper Accumulator Costume Class, presented by the Gochman Family.
Laura Kraut AKA Little Red Riding Hood won this year’s class riding Stars and Stripes’ Andretti S, clearing the course and the high side of the joker fence in the fastest time of 44.47 seconds. Check out her round:
