If you missed Steeplechase 2015, you missed one of the very few times where there was no rain on the day of the event or even the day before. Â In years past, you would have seen dozens of women dressed in sundresses and rain boots but this year’s fashion was sandals and flip flops as there was not a raindrop in sight. Â And the men stepped up their game this year! We saw lots of color and bow ties.

 In addition to the pleasantly dry conditions, Nashville Lifestyles hosted a tailgating contest.

While this was the winner, we were actually pretty impressed with this guy’s tent.
I didn’t see the winning tent, but @reedtclapp was on-point! He had a moss horse! #TNSteeplechase#ReedWasRobbedpic.twitter.com/xlW9dCHfgg
