They’re two very completely different exhibits, however I might nonetheless take Aretino 13, as although the sector at CHI Geneva is indoors, it’s nonetheless very massive. If I’m going to CHI Geneva, it will likely be the one indoor present that Aretino 13 competes in as a result of he’s a giant horse and wishes more room, so he fits outside arenas higher.
