In case anyone is interested, or just gets to wondering why, in a couple of weeks, there’ll be an extraordinary number of policemen and horses in Gaithersburg, the 2007 North American Police Equestrian Championships will be held Saturday and Sunday, September 22 and 23, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. I see no indication on their website one way or another as to whether the event is open to the public, although I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. I’ll write to the organizers to try to find out for sure.
Update: I received a response from the competition organizers, and the good news is that admission is free to the public:
Yes It is FREE to the public. I need to put that on the website.
There are 2 days of competition. Sat is Equitation and Sunday is the Obstacle Course which is the most exciting and interesting of the two days.
Thanks for posting!
It appears that if you (or your kids) love horses, this could be a great way to spend a few hours on that weekend.
