LEGENDS
Manhattan has never been the most natural
setting for a hack or a handy hunter class,
but this bustling New York City borough still
boasts a unique and rich horse show history.
The 131-year-old National Horse Show
was synonymous with Madison Square
Garden, in the heart of New York City, for
more than a century. This image from the 1910
edition of the prestigious competition was
taken at the second Garden, but all four itera-
tions of the iconic Manhattan venue hosted the
show at one time.
