Breakfast with the Mounted Police at the Washington International Horse Show

Stop by for breakfast with the Mounted Police at the Washington International Horse Show to meet the officers and their mounts! The breakfast will take place at Hotel Monaco, which is located on the site of the first post office in Washington, DC. This 19th-century post office used to load and unload horses on a buggy around the back of the building where the restaurant, Poste Modern Brasserie, is now located. A “Human Buffet” of chilled juices, assorted pastries, breakfast burritos, coffee and tea, will be provided by the Hotel Monaco. A “Horse Buffet” of carrots and apples will be provided by the Washington International Horse Show. In the afternoon, guests can watch professional and amateur hunter riders will finish their divisions with a stake class, offering a larger purse, as well as the first show jumping class, the WIHS Children’s Jumper Championship, where riders under 18 compete to win a share of $10,000. This event is free and open to the public.
