The Super Bowl For Horses

Equine Motorcoach is so excited that the World Equestrian Games are underway. If you can't make it to Lexington, Kentucky, watch the Games live online by clicking here. This is the Super Bowl of horses!

Team USA is currently in the lead in the Reining division. We are especially proud of this team since we sponsored the NRHA Derby for two years. The NRHA was a gracious host to Equine Motorcoach and we were introduced to the sport in style.

Three-time Dressage Olympian Anky van Grunsven stunned the horse media world yesterday when she announced she was competing in the Reining division instead of Dressage. She was introduced to Reining in her many trips to Florida for the Winter Equestrian Festival. We say "there's a cowgirl and cowboy" in everyone.

Let us know if you are there and share your experiences with us via Twitter, Facebook or our Blog.

We had a great time at The Fork International Horse Trials in Norwood, NC. We hung out with Team Will Faudree and Team Bobby Costello. They had great results at the horse trials. What was so much fun was hanging out in the Equine Motorcoach that the Mosing family purchased last year. Jennifer sponsors Will Faudree on Pawlow and Andromaque. Team Will Faudree has the Coach (lorrie) to transport the horses.
