Grandview Florida Big Horse Show 2019

Florida Horse Park
14000 Co. Hwy 475A
Ocala, FL 34473
Attended the first Grand view International Draft Horse Show in Ocala, Florida.  Horse teams from around the world were scheduled to attend from the US and Canada.  Big horses like Clydesdale's, Percheron's and Belgian draft horses were at the Horse Park.

Horses getting ready for the big show.  I could not believe all the hard work that goes into this.
Marlon and I inside the barns as we watched the horses getting prepared for the big show ahead of them.
168 one ton horses in a ring at the same time along with 21 world class hitch wagons, being driven by the best drivers in the industry.    
The horse teams entered the building perfectly, a marvelous thing to hear and see.  The drivers in this event were all women dressed in the best attire to present their big horse.

Clydesdales, Percherons, Belgians
A step up from the cart is the Ladies Team. Two horses hitched side by side on a show wagon, driven by a woman. Watch as this team of two coordinate together in dance-like motions. 
This show was one I would love to see again.  Totally loved it.
