I’ve been trying to bring Charlie out to Black Star Sport Horses for a couple years. Every time I think we’ll be able to visit Black Star Sport Horses something comes up.
Which I hate to admit but this weekend is packed as well but I really would like to attend the Halloween Horse Show and see the costumes so I’m going to try and juggle things around and see if I can find at least an hour so we can watch one or two events.
Black Star Sport Horses to Host Halloween Horse Show
Horses will be in costume at the free event.

What is Dressage?
Dressage is an English style of riding with a rich history of ancient European warhorses. Today, dressage competitions test how well a horse is trained.
According to the International Equestrian Federation, dressage is the “highest expression of horse training” and aims to develop a horse’s natural athletic ability.
While dressage benefits all breeds of horse, the most popular breeds seen at the Olympics and other high-level competitions are warm blood horses bred specifically for dressage.
