The Alltech National Horse Show
, which took place for
a third year in a row at the
Alltech Arena
at the
Kentucky
Horse Park
, has a rich history dating back to its
Madison
Square Garden
days of fabulous parties attended by the
who’s who of the equestrian and social scene. One rider
who competed at Madison Square Gardens was
Harry de
Leyer
and his famed horse
Snowman
. In 1958, Harry and
Snowman swept the triple crown of show jumping -- Snowman
was named the American Horse Show Association’s Horse of
the Year, Professional Horseman’s Association champion and
the champion of Madison Square Garden’s Diamond Jubilee.
Harry (shown here with his daughter
Harriet
) attended the
2013 National Horse Show at the Kentucky Horse Park.

, who made clever use of
National Horse Show memorabilia and photos and worked with
Cross Gate Gallery
, one of the finest sporting art galleries in
the country, and area antique retailers to transform the space
into a gracious and welcoming venue ideal for socializing.
