The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games are finally here. After years of preparation the Kentucky Horse Park is ready, the competitors are ready, Alltech is ready, and the world is ready.

You really have to be here to appreciate the level of excitement. It is a beautiful autumn day in the Bluegrass. Visitors are arriving at the park and you can see the surprise on their faces when they discover the scope of this event. There is so much to see and do: the Alltech Experience Pavilion, the Kentucky Experience, the Equine Village, the trade show; and of course eight world championships.

Hang on. It's going to be a wild ride!
