Florida's Draft Horse show is coming to the horse capital of the world.
Feb 3-5, 2023 - FLORIDA HORSE PARK
JUST A FEW WORDS
About the event
Trying to explain the atmosphere that you will find within the show ring of an elite all breed draft horse hitch show is hard to put into words, but here it goes…
Just imagine the possibility of 168 one ton horses in a ring at the same time, along with 21 world class hitch wagons, being maneuvered by some of the best drivers in the industry! You can imagine the organized chaos that gets executed perfectly, a marvelous undertaking to see. The pure power and excitement of this equine venture is one of the most crowd pleasing horse events on the planet. There will be up to 32 of these one ton draft horses working together at a full trot within the show ring all together. Did we mention that the whole competition is done to hand picked music for each class.

To describe the intensity of auditory sensation and energy this amount of horse power can produce is chilling. The thunderous sound of 672 pounding draft horse hooves I can only describe as pure horse power. These 6 and 8 horse hitches demand your attention, not only in their power but with their majestic elegance.

A FEW WORDS
About the event organizer
“There are no major draft horse shows in Florida, so we decided to do something about that and created the Grandview Invitational International,” says Karen. “Our very first show will be February 1-3, 2019, at the Florida Horse Park. Our goal is for the show to become a major annual event here in Ocala so everyone can come out to enjoy Clydesdales.”
