Here’s another look at the two short videos – the Dancing Police Officer and portions of the Acto Central. Sorry for the video quality, but they were shot on my phone.
WOW, how fortunate you were able to get tickets to this spectacular event. Horses, yes lots of horses. I am in my element whenever I am around them. Owned a few over the years, but that seems like a lifetime ago. Russ told me I could have as many horses as I wanted as long as they started with a key .. lol
I was amazed at the picture of the audience … it seems to go on forever.
Safe journey home.
