The Virginia Gold Cup and International Gold Cup steeplechase races are a celebration of hunt country tradition and are held in the spring and fall every year respectively. The International Gold Cup takes place this Saturday, October 19th, at Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia but was originally founded in Tennessee in 1930. It is a large spectator event and social gathering as horses and riders race through a course of timber and brush fences, testing their courage and endurance. #virginia #theplains #greatmeadow #goldcup #steeplechase #horse #horsebackriding #equestrian #jockey http://adf.ly/T0yAD
