Team USA’s Aaron Ralston made history when he entered the ring as the first athlete ever to compete in the Kentucky Horse Park’s new indoor arena in Kentucky Cup Reining, the first test event for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG).
“I really didn’t realize it was happening until afterwards, and then it opened my eyes and it really started to sink in,” Ralston said. “To be involved in something so big and special as these test events for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games and to be on the team with these athletes is so special.
