Lucy Peterson argues that one of the simplest ways to grow equestrian sport isn't a bigger prize purse or a flashier venue, but creating more opportunities for connection between riders and spectators. 

From Richard Vogel high-fiving fans after his Rolex Grand Prix win at CHIO Aachen to the post-game traditions at Giant Valley Polo Club, small interactions can create lasting memories, inspire future riders, and keep people coming back to the sport.

Would you like to see more rider-and-fan interaction at horse shows?
