World Arabian Horse Championships - Paris 2008

December 14th, 2008

Le Salon du Cheval is always one of the most amazing shows on the calendar and this year was no exception.

Paris is the most extraordinaire city on earth and the most magnificent horses in the world come to compete here each December.

This year was the top in quality, enthusiasm, drama, energy and excitement.  All the things a good horse show should be.
