Back at the Barn with Kentucky Performance Products: LGCT Behind the Scenes

At the end of the day horses — even high-flying equine celebrities — will be horses.

On the surface, the Longines Global Champions Tour appears to be 100% glitz, drama and action — a battle for glory amongst the world’s best horses and riders set against a backdrop of spectacularly beautiful locales.

But when the grandstand lights have been turned off and the crowds gone home, we’re reminded that these elite equine athletes are still, at the end of the day, just horses.

No matter how jumps they leap and trophies they collect, even superstars never lose sight of the most important things in life: naps…
