The horses were very friendly with the performers. They were also very gorgeous (the horses) and well trained. These people must practically eat, sleep and breath horses.
They started off the show with a large puddle in the arena. A woman came out and danced in the water. Then out came this white horse that she danced with and that drank water from her hands.
My favorite act was the woman who signaled about 10 horses to do tricks with just her voice and a lunge whip. It was mind blowing. I have lunged many a horse in my day. This was impressive.
The dressage was a breath-taking study in restraint and composure. Almost like ballet.
There were stunt/trick riders. And lots of acrobatic feats while performers bounced around on the end of wires over the horses' heads.
Tessa was very excited about going. She wanted to pose for a picture before we left.
And her anticipation was high while we sat waiting for the curtains to lift.
As usual, Anthony could hardly contain himself. He's so dramatic.
I had a blast and hope Tessa remembers it for a long time.
