The Arabian Horse Show


Each year Menton holds a prestigious championship show for pure bred Arabian horses who compete from all over the world. I've covered this event before but there's always a new scene, a new way to take a photo and anyway I can never resist the chance to see these beautiful creatures. Last year we had rain and it was no fun to see the horses in the mud. This year we had glorious sunshine and it was hot - way too hot...

Let's visit the show for a few days...

Chaque année à Menton se tient un prestigieux spectacle de championnat de pur-sang arabes qui viennent de tous les coins du monde. J'ai déjà couvert cet événement dans le passé, mais il y a toujours un nouveau cadre, une nouvelle façon de prendre une photo et de toutes façons je ne peux jamais résister à la chance de voir ces magnifiques créatures. L'année dernière nous avons eu de la pluie et ce n'était pas amusant de voir les chevaux dans la boue. Cette année, nous avons eu un soleil radieux et il faisait chaud - trop chaud ...


Nous suivrons le spectacle pendant quelques jours ...
