    The level of the riders was low with a couple of exceptions. One of the performances was great but that was 10 minutes long. The remaining 1 1/2 hours were disappointing.

    Del Mar Horse Show

    by eachavez on 4/22/13Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    The show was Ok. That's because it was my first time seeing a horse show. It was nice to see how good the riders were. But, I would say, because of the horse shows on TV and other shows with horses in it, this show was ok. For kids, I would give it a 3 star rating. Half the time I could not understand the announcer. Sometime the camera man shots were too far. The prices of the food is too much. The indian show was very poor. I would give that a 1 star. Charge to much for parking. After the cost of show tickets for two, parking, food, I spent almost $100.00 for a two star show. I will not be doing that again.

    "The Night of the Horse"

    by 123Chance123 on 4/22/13Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    The performance was very slow-too much time between acts. Not enough variety, although the several individual acts were very good. I understand that it was a "western theme" but it would have been nice to actually have several breeds performing what they were trained to do. The sound system was horribly jumbled and the music was too loud. My 14 year old said it was boring and the rest of my family agreed. We would have enjoyed the Lakeside Rodeo more and it would have been far less expensive. Very disappointing.

    First time I saw Tommie Turvey and his horses. Had heard how fantastic he is so expected tops and it was even better than that, absolutely amazing. His act with the horse PokerJoe was incredible to see the trust between them, an act which I believe reached deeply into every single heart there. The One Arm Bandit, Escondido Mounted Possee, Buffalo Soldiers , Chuck Wagon Races, and all the rest were so entertaining and exciting to watch. The Herrick Band was so good and to hear our National Anthem sung by Donna Herrick was a real treat.

    not impressed with wild west show

    by Bear57 on 4/22/13Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    overall I was disappointed in the wild west show. I was expecting some high quality horsemanship.... there was some.... but not a lot. The guys running around on the fake horses were stupid.... why not have people on real horses at a horse show?

    Million dollar night!

    by Horselover33 on 6/11/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    The 100,000 Grand Prix was a fabulous night of spectacular show jumping. Any seat was a good seat and you were close enough to video tape with an I phone. I got to walk around outside and see the horses up close. There were really nice booths to shop in at the break. And of course, having a fresh hot funnel cake! Parking was easy. People were friendly. There were even movie stars and celebrities in attendance! Great night!

    Loved the cowboy girls' act.............great entry. The horses in tandum were spectacular.........I felt like they couldn't wait for their next move in anticipation of the beat of the music. Miniature horses were adorable and the performance quite impressive. I have been to this show three times in the past five years. Even though we really enjoyed ourselves it was not as 'thrilling' as in years past with for example stunts put on by 'Tommy Turvey etc. Will I go next year.........of course!

    Fun Family event

    by gypsylover on 4/23/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    Night of the horse was fun, especially for the kids. I enjoyed the dressage and the airs above ground with the mini horses. Could have done without the singing performance and the "dog and pony show". Thought that Bo Derek's voice sounded shaky and nervous, probably because she was riding around on a horse the hole time while trying to talk.

    Night of The Horse

    by winchesterwidow on 4/23/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    This was my sixth time coming to Night f The Horse.Bo Derek is a lovely woman and I can guess a fair horse woman,she rode around the arena she really didn't have much to say. The show left me cold. The Riatta Cowboy Girls there were three riders in the past there were 12. each act was not full. The drill team performed more than the individual acts.I had hoped that as the title of the show Was Why We LOVE the horse would have given us more of a variety of horses. I love horses and I love watching them work but VARIETY would have been nice .

    So-so

    by onthescene on 4/23/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    This horse event was nothing special. Not the exhilerating experience we expected. Also, not very smoothly put together. No central theme. The horses were handsome.

    Ramon Becerra is incredible!

    by Pipah on 4/23/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    A fantastic evening . The crowd was enthusiastic and Bo Derek was a wonderful Mistress of Ceremonies on her gorgeous white horse. There was a good variety of performances which I believe was good for a general audience and not only for those 100 % focused on horses. The Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls were absolutely incredible!

    Night of the Horse

    by SunnyinCalif on 4/23/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    This was amazing and beautiful and just plain wonderful. The only thing I would not recommend again is the Dog and Pony show....just ridiculous and a waste of time. But only to go get a snack so I guess it was needed...

    Beautiful Horses and Amzing Riders

    by Santeegal on 4/23/12Del Mar Fairgrounds - Del Mar

    I brought my 7 year old daughter and her friend to see the show. We had a great time! The MCs told corny jokes but it was a family event after all. Bo Derek is a great humanitarian and animal advocate but she really needs some help from The Toast Masters! We're going next year for sure!
