“Shame”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Do not support the cruelty that each of these horses endures in this show. Please research what happens to obtain this un natural gate. Hard to believe that this is acceptable in this era. So very sad. Check out ABC under cover story about this industry. Shame on the organizers and judges for encouraging this animal abuse. I am sickened.

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

I don't know a lot about horses but I love the showmanship of the walking horse. Also the farms in the area are something to see.

“Discover the The Celebration!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2002

40,000 fans on a Saturday night in late August - the stadium lights off and one spotlight zeroes in on one stallion as he is crowned World Grand Champion. The spotlight follows him as he takes his victory pass. A THRILL. This horse show will even impress the non-horse lover.
