There is much more to the National Horse Show than the Equestrian Competitions! There is Shopping!

If you would like to see more photos of horse at the show visit my post on the National Horse Show.  

If you have great taste and looking for one of a kind gift items, furnishings for your home or barn, jewelry to cars and boats you have it all right here at the National Horse Show.

We came across this one Artist, his name is Tino. He is good! He has spent countless hours perfecting his technique to capture the essence of the horse. He has a gallery/studio here in Wellington and one in East Tennessee. You can view more of his paintings at Horse Power Paintings.  

 Across the way from this vendor was Der Dau, Custom made boots and shoes for the discriminating horse rider or just to walk around in to be in with the high fashion and classy Equestrian style taste. 

So we asked Joseph Der the CEO and designer of these boots and shoes to show us one of the upper line custom boots that he is really proud of. This boot he is holding up is an alligator and snake skin boot that is selling for over $3,000. 

His phone number is 718-336-4513, he is in Brooklyn, New York.

There are leather goods for sale; jackets to hides. If you like fine clothiers than here is Hunt LTD.

And there are hats, hats and more hats!

Now for the furnishings in your home; the Idlewood Furnishing booth is top of the line with unique treasures for you home. 

Then we strolled down to the other side of the show and found the motor coach area! These coaches are spacious and luxurious. The starting price is $275,000; not bad for all that is included. The horse area is in the back and the cab up in front with living quarters for the driver and groom or owners are on top. This motor coach is European style with driver on the right.

You can also choose your own Jaguar and drive away today in a gorgeous new car. Here is Nestor checking out new cars for the one he wants next. 

Finally there were boats for sale to complete your entire shopping spree.

So now, how much did you spend at the National Horse Show this year?

Make sure you have room for dinner and head over to the Tavern On The Green in the Equestrian Club for dinner and to watch this marvelous sunset!

We went to the National Horse Show here in Wellington Florida at the Equestrian Club and took lots of photos just like I promised you I would!

So if you love horses; get ready to feast your eyes on these beautiful horses.

This was the Jumper Competition. The green lawn is the main ring and there are 4 other rings that are in dirt not grass.

I am working with a Sony Camcorder Digital DVD camera that does take good still shots. I was trying to time these photos just right as the horse was making the jump. I do not know how to set up my sport mode on my camera, I guess that is next on my list to do because the horses were moving so fast.

The green grass ring is decorated with beautiful flowers along all the fences set up for jumping. Here are some of those beautiful sights.

We walked over to the dirt ring to check out some more Jumper competitions. Here are some of the photos that I took there.

Of course our family excursion would not be complete without our son Tristan getting his ice cream. Look at this cool photo enhancer I found for free online. All the effects are totally free. You can use them for your MySpace, Facebook, blogger and more.

On the way over to see the vendors that are at the show we saw some horses with their grooms. The grooms take the horses from the riders to take care of them after they jumped. The rider does not do that part. There are many people involved with just one horse of this caliber and worth.

We visited with some of the vendors. I will post about them in my very next post so stay tuned! If you like to shop you will not want to miss some of these high class vendors! 

Check out this home below; you can live here and have the show right in your backyard!
