“The entire USEF staff is looking forward to kicking off the reining championships by hosting the draw at our national headquarters. It is extremely exciting for the USEF to have these championships right in our own backyard, the beautiful Kentucky Horse Park,” said John Long, USEF Chief Executive Officer. “Fiesta in the Park, showcasing the best reiners in the nation alongside premier hunter-jumper riders will be a terrific equine entertainment event.”
