For anyone who enjoys show jumping... this is a great event. The Del Mar Arena is a great place... the weather is always perfect, and the horses are incredible. Every year they streamline it more and more and add things to keep us entertained. Live music, good food and drink... what more can you ask for?

Horses were great. Couldn't understand a single word over the PA system. BMW racing went way to long and didn't understand the need for it. Concessions were kind of tacky and the arena needs a major upgrade of food and beverage vendors.

After sitting thru more than 1 1/2 hours of cars driving around ,award ceremonies & children jumping over hedges(not that cute), the REAL horseshow finally started. I was SO bored by then that I left ! Will not attend again. Also, the rude drunk people who sat behind me were SO loud that I couldn't hear the announcer. this happened @ the Musical Freestyle last week. Not a good experience this yr for me.

The Grand Prix it self was a good competition. There were not a lot of spectators that showed up which was disappointing.

I have to say, having been to the freestyle evening many times, that this year was a disappointment.....hardly any entries in the amateur class and only one of the four rides was well executed. I felt badly for the riders with spooky horses - it's never easy to know how the main arena will be viewed by an already excited horse........sometimes they just can't settle. The Pas de Deux had the same problem - something was spooking the horses and they just lost the focus.
The second class of 3 was certainly impressive, but again, a disappointment that there weren't more entries - we have so many amazing FEI riders on this coast - was sorry there weren't more here tonight - it could be that they don't all have GP horses at the moment...
Ravel's retirement ceremony was worth the ticket - what an honor to be there and see him once again with his team - a remarkable horse with a remarkable rider - that made the evening :-)

The level of the riders was low with a couple of exceptions.
One of the performances was great but that was 10 minutes long.
The remaining 1 1/2 hours were disappointing.

The show was Ok. That's because it was my first time seeing a horse show. It was nice to see how good the riders were. But, I would say, because of the horse shows on TV and other shows with horses in it, this show was ok. For kids, I would give it a 3 star rating. Half the time I could not understand the announcer. Sometime the camera man shots were too far. The prices of the food is too much. The indian show was very poor. I would give that a 1 star.
Charge to much for parking. After the cost of show tickets for two, parking, food, I spent almost $100.00 for a two star show. I will not be doing that again.

The performance was very slow-too much time between acts. Not enough variety, although the several individual acts were very good. I understand that it was a "western theme" but it would have been nice to actually have several breeds performing what they were trained to do. The sound system was horribly jumbled and the music was too loud. My 14 year old said it was boring and the rest of my family agreed. We would have enjoyed the Lakeside Rodeo more and it would have been far less expensive. Very disappointing.

Favorite moment: Tommie Turvey & Poker Joe. @
Posted 04/22/2013

First time I saw Tommie Turvey and his horses. Had heard how fantastic he is so expected tops and it was even better than that, absolutely amazing.
His act with the horse PokerJoe was incredible to see the trust between them, an act which I believe reached deeply into every single heart there.
The One Arm Bandit, Escondido Mounted Possee, Buffalo Soldiers , Chuck Wagon Races, and all the rest were so entertaining and exciting to watch.
The Herrick Band was so good and to hear our National Anthem sung by Donna Herrick was a real treat.

overall I was disappointed in the wild west show. I was expecting some high quality horsemanship.... there was some.... but not a lot.
The guys running around on the fake horses were stupid.... why not have people on real horses at a horse show?

The 100,000 Grand Prix was a fabulous night of spectacular show jumping. Any seat was a good seat and you were close enough to video tape with an I phone. I got to walk around outside and see the horses up close. There were really nice booths to shop in at the break. And of course, having a fresh hot funnel cake! Parking was easy. People were friendly. There were even movie stars and celebrities in attendance! Great night!

Loved the cowboy girls' act.............great entry. The horses in tandum were spectacular.........I felt like they couldn't wait for their next move in anticipation of the beat of the music. Miniature horses were adorable and the performance quite impressive.
I have been to this show three times in the past five years.
Even though we really enjoyed ourselves it was not as 'thrilling' as in years past with for example stunts put on by 'Tommy Turvey etc.
