When the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games come calling at your doorstep (7.5 miles from home at the Kentucky Horse Park, to be exact) it is almost obligatory to write about the event. The difficulty is that most of the legal issues associated with the Games are interesting only to attorneys: the legal wrangling involved in bringing the games to Kentucky in the first place, the vastly different reactions from riders and non-riders to the liability waivers required for all volunteers, the decision-making that allowed some exhibitors to have booths at the Kentucky Horse Park but relegated others to off-site locations.

Thank goodness for FEI president H.R.H
