The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) will take place in Lexington, Ky., from Sept. 25-Oct. 10. The World Equestrian Games are held every four years like the Olympics and are the world championships for eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).

Despite being the pinnacle of equestrian competition, the Games are not just about horses. During the WEG, the Kentucky Horse Park's 1,224 acres will be blanketed by a world's fair-style celebration with five major destination points including the Alltech Experience Pavilion, the Equine Village, the Kentucky Experience, a 270-booth Trade Fair, and a French Pavilion dedicated to the 2014 Games.

There’s something for everyone at the WEG, and children ages 12 and under receive free admission with a paying adult. So what can a kid see for free while attending the Games?

The Alltech Experience Pavilion provides fun and educational experiences in which children can learn about farming, food, and the environment from Alltech, the title sponsor of the Games. Alltech is a worldwide leader in animal nutrition, health, and performance and works to develop natural feed supplements that help raise healthy animals while also being safe for the environment
