On September 25, 2010, the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park watched magic unfold under the blanket of a brilliantly pink sunset. The World Equestrian Games had crossed an ocean for the first time in its history with the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, and the Opening Ceremony was dedicated to celebration - of Kentucky and the United States, but most of all of mankind’s love for the horse throughout history and the world.
