"THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST HIGHLAND GAMES IN THE WORLD!" WHAM will be performing with all matching grey horses, the 1815 Royal Scots Greys at the largest Highland Games in the United States. “The grace and beauty of a dozen or so grey steeds maneuvering as one” is truly magical! The 1815 Scots Greys are presented in military “parade dress”, after their famous charge at Waterloo and capturing the French Eagle as immortalized in the famous painting by Lady Butler: “Scotland Forever!”. The 1815 Greys will be performing military musical rides (set to regimental cavalry music) and maneuvers at several shows each day as well as the Grand Ceremony with over 300 bag pipers. This majestic moment will be held at the race track at the Fairplex. Along with the 1815 Scots Greys, the Highland Games include, Scottish country dancing, international performers of Celtic Music, Scottish Athletics, sixty-five clans, Scottish Food & Beverages, large Scottish Product vendor area as well as 20 competing bag pipe bands. WHAM’s 1815 Greys has performed in the 2005 and 2006 Tournament of Roses Parade which had over a million live spectators on the parade route and over 400 televised viewers world-wide. The majority of the horses that WHAM uses are pure-bred Arabians and many of them also compete in endurance riding which is a minimum of fifty mile races in rugged terrain.
