Regardless of what you most enjoy writing or broadcasting, we’ll show you how to tie your interests to the world of horse sports – even if you know nothing about horses.  The Kentucky Horse Park and the National Horse Center* invite you to Building the Equestrian Story, an open house for media on September 13, free of charge to journalists, photo journalists and broadcasters.  The eyes of the world are on Kentucky right now, leading up to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010, so join us as we explore the unlimited opportunities to bring interesting and unexpected stories and images to your readers, viewers and listeners leading up to the games!  The day will include presenters, horse demonstrations, hands-on demonstrations and lunch.

Registration is limited, so please contact us immediately to request a registration form.  Absolute deadline is September 3, if space is still available at that time.  Email crullman@kyhorsepark.com.
