Turnout is about a lot more than looking pretty for a horse show, and eventers know that more than most disciplines. From elaborate jog outfits to color-coordinated cross country gear, they pull out all the stops.

That’s clearly apparent for dressage day, where quarter marks shine under the bright Kentucky sun. Whether it’s a way to highlight a horse’s conformation or simply artistic expression, this careful grooming showcases superior turnout.
