Autumn in New York Horse Show


The horses are the stars this weekend at the Autumn in New York Horse Show held at the New York State Fairgrounds. Starting Thursday morning and finishing up Sunday night, horses and riders travel from all around to show their stuff in the ring at the Coca Cola Coliseum. One young rider, Amanda Howe, explained how exciting it is to participate in an event like this. "It's just such an adrenaline rush, jumping is definitely my favorite part of showing." Although it's her first time at the Autumn in New York Horse Show, Howe has been showing for ten years now and made sure to give credit to the animal that she shows with. The show features a variety of classes that appeal to all different levels of difficulty, and is free and open to the public.
