Background of Kentucky Derby:
The Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuously run sporting event in the United States and is America's most famous horse race, rich in tradition and celebrated by racing fans throughout the world. In May, 1875, Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark, taking his lead from the English Derby at Epsom Downs, established the race for three-year old thoroughbreds.
Background of Horse Show:
The afternoon includes exciting live-demonstrations of various equestrian disciplines including hunters over fences, jumping, reining, free-style dressage…and more! Thrill to the riders in red hunting gear as The Red Rock Hounds from Reno, Nevada, put their hounds out in a demonstration.
