Each year, a few days prior to New Year’s Day, the Tournament of Roses hosts Equestfest at the LA Equestrian Center, a performance showcase of the equine units that will be appearing in the Tournament of Roses Parade. As these groups do not perform in the parade, this is their chance to dazzle the sizeable audience with their amazing showmanship, stunts, and routines in the show arena. It is typically broadcast on multiple media channels to a worldwide audience.

As the guests arrived at the equestrian center for the pre-show, they were greeted by members of the Lewis Events team showcasing Trick Roping, Gun Spinning, and photo opportunities. We took time for TV interviews, photos, and interacting with the media covering the event. Many took time to try and learn a few basic roping skills.

During the Spirit of the Riders act, Christy, Melinda, Brett, and Emily took the stage in the center of the arena and performed trick roping stunts while other members of the group paraded their horses around the perimeter of the arena. All of the acts were amazing! Can’t wait for the parade on New Year’s morning.
