A culmination of the finest Arabian horses in all of the world – the 2014 Salon Du Cheval in Paris did not disappoint in quality nor entertainment. An incredibly intimate setting to spend 3 days watching the most spectacular horses compete for the coveted Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. Each and every class was ushered in to the show ring with music that brought you to your feet, suspense (well sometimes!) of not knowing who would take the top honours, and enjoying the camaraderie of dear friends. Three days of excitement for any horse lover, but more importantly for any Arabian horse lover. Enjoy the photos below which will give you a glimpse of one of the finest shows for Arabian horses in all of the world – the Salon du Cheval World Arabian Horse Championships.
