Five Great American Horse Events for Spectators–Must Sees

Horse racing is one of the most ancient past-times, dating back to some of the earliest civilizations of man. The types of racing we are most familiar with today, steeple chasing (which involves hurdles) and flat racing (which requires speed and stamina over a flat track), hail to aristocratic and royal British society. There are other types of equestrian events and competitions modern spectators can enjoy, including eventing competitions, show jumping, dressage and hunter / jumper shows, many of which are held in awesome locations.
