I often describe horse shows as my "natural habitat." But while I’ve had the pleasure of attending a diverse array of equine events, including the Kentucky Derby, Breeders’ Cup, Rolex, and the Olympics, nothing compares with the beauty of the F‡ilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show. It’s the most photogenic horse event I’ve seen, and I hope you’ll agree.

As I’m posting this, I’m on hour 20 of a return journey that’s contained more than a few bumps along the way (one word: Dulles), so I’ll save the details for the next post, in which I’ll add yet more photos of the main event, the final leg of the Meydan FEI Nations’ Cup, as well as my personal favorite, the national pony championship!

For now, enjoy the photos!
