The WEGs have only just ended, but let’s take a quick video trip down WEG memory lane. There was so much to see and do at the Games, it was impossible to fit it all in! Let’s take a look at few demonstrations and one very special performance.
Taking my seat in the stands before the Dressage Freestyle, I said to my pals, “I want to see something awesome. Goosebump worthy. Like Blue Hors Matine.” Then Fuego XII and Juan Munoz Diaz entered the ring. This is what I came to see.
The Equine Village had several demonstrations of breeds, trainers, and activities. Pat and Linda Parelli were there doing there thing. I’m not sure exactly what was the ultimate goal at this demonstration, but no one gets their head tied to their legs. But these minis are just cute enough to….shake a stick at!
“Ride a Reiner!” said John Deere.
Teams of young riders from around the world met in Lexington for Mounted Games demonstrations at the Equine Village. Want to see more Mounted Games? Click!
The California Cowgirls give a drill team demonstration in the Equine Village. I had originally heard from a booth-tender that the drill was somewhat chaotic and frightening…I don’t know what makes a good drill besides not running into one another, which the girls pull off in fine form this time.
I’ve desperately tried to find a video of the reining freestyle involving a horse running for its life from the giant angel wings attached to his back. But alas, I can’t find it. Either way, there were plenty of other wild and crazy freestyles to be enjoyed.
