Miami, FL – April 4, 2014 – Families looking for all kinds of fun activities, all for free, and all happening on the Miami Dolphin’s field at Sun Life Stadium need not look any further than the American Invitational. Tomorrow night, from 5-7 pm, before some of the greatest show jumping horses and riders in the world take to the field, families and kids of all ages will be welcomed to the stadium to participate in a number of fun events.
Wells Fargo Private Bank will offer free rides around Sun Life Stadium in their iconic horse drawn stagecoach. Kids will also get a chance to interact with horses first hand, as there will be free pony rides offered for all. For the football enthusiast, there will be a Miami Dolphins football toss and prize give away, as well as a face painting station. Miami 93.9 Radio Remote will also be on hand to entertain all in attendance, and once the free fun wraps up at 7 pm, families are invited to buy tickets at the door for the show jumping event, which will begin at 8 pm. Once tickets are purchased, spectators will be able to participate in the public course walk.
