Wellington, Florida - November 10, 2003 - What better way to enjoy Thanksgiving week than by attending the most prestigious horse show in the United States while doing some holiday shopping in between the competitions?

The 120th National Horse Show will return for the second consecutive year to the spectacular showgrounds of The Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in Wellington from Wednesday, November 26 through Sunday, November 30, 2003. The competition at The 120th National will include over 400 of the best horses and riders in the United States showing in the equestrian disciplines of hunter, jumper, equitation, dressage and ladies' side-saddle. These talented horses and riders rank among the top 25 in the country in their respective divisions and have qualified for The 120th National through a year-long competition process.

But when you need a break from the competition schedule, rest assured there will be plenty to do. First of all, there will be food courts appealing to all tastes, and plenty of space to picnic on the lawn.
