The 2010 World Equestrian Legacy
At the culmination of the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games, FEI President, HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, made the statement that horses unify people, bringing divergent cultures and heritages together – an observation with which most Kentuckians would readily agree. After all, in many areas of Kentucky, horses are as much a part of living as breathing itself.
Kentuckians believe that Kentucky is the horse capital of the world. The 2010 World Equestrian Legacy is a six-part miniseries that explores and celebrates the unique, unshakeable bond between the equine and this state. Each thirty-minute segment will explore Kentucky along with the horse’s relationship to the landscape, history, people, places, arts, culture and music of the state. The segments will tell of their intertwining history and transformational relationship. This series will delve into the past as well as shine a light on the state’s present and future as it travels the path from the importance of horses in Kentucky’s history to the planning, preparing and hosting of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games to the legacy that the Games will leave for future generations.
The 2010 World Equestrian Legacy will be a dramatic, impressive story told through archival footage and photographs, incredible cinematography, and fascinating stories from both young and old. Rather than talking at its audience, this miniseries will talk with and to the people of Kentucky and, in the process, the entire world. Using interviews, personal stories, anecdotes, history, and legends, the tale of how the horse transitioned from a utilitarian animal to something far more pivotal will be brought to life. Rather than use broad, sterile strokes, we will tell these stories on a far more intimate basis–one story at a time, one experience at a time, one astonishing and often heart-touching revelation at a time, complete with original music score!
Of course, a topic such as this lends itself to breathtaking footage. Rest assured, the striking images of Kentucky and its rolling horse farms; the majestic beauty of the horse; the rich characters, including horse aficionados from the United States as well as Europe; the historians and artists; and most importantly, Kentuckians – all will be the stars of the show. Our project is their stories.
We envision speaking to a wide range of
individuals – from royalty to heads of state;
from organizers to breeders, owners,
groomers and jockeys; from 4-H members
to inner city children participating in the
Mustang Troop; from noted artists and
craftsman to farmers, coal miners, and yes,
even moonshiners.
