The American Quarter Horse and National Reining Horse associations, along with AQHA and NRHA Corporate Partner John Deere, are giving visitors to the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games a ride aboard an American Quarter Horse.
At the John Deere Reining Arena during the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, September 25 – October 10, in Lexington, Kentucky, visitors can test-ride a trustworthy American Quarter Horse and even ride a world-class reining American Quarter Horse. Plus, visitors can hone their horsemanship skills with demonstrations from some of the world’s leading horse trainers, including Lynn Palm, Shawn Flarida, Julie Goodnight and many more. AQHA and the National Reining Horse Association, along with AQHA and NRHA Corporate Partner John Deere, have teamed up to make these events possible.
No matter what skill level, AQHA, NRHA and John Deere are committed to giving WEG visitors an experience aboard an American Quarter Horse they won’t soon forget.
AQHA Test Rides, NRHA Ride a Reiner and the AQHA/NRHA demonstrations take place several times a day at the John Deere Reining Arena during WEG. See the complete schedule for rides and demonstrations.
