Daffodil Arabian Horse Club Spring Show (video & photos)

Below are some photos and a short video from the Arabian horse show I attended yesterday in Puyallup, WA. It was a long day, but I enjoyed seeing the beautiful horses! Sorry for the poor quality on these photos. I was too far away for my camera to get decent ones indoors.
