The Gala of the Royal Horses combines stunning horses from around the world with live performers, creating a breathtaking event for the entire family. The show is a “must see” for horse lovers and families.

The show features a variety of breads including the Andalusian, Friesian, Lipizzaner and Arabian. “The unique qualities of the Royal Horses single them out from all other breeds in the equine world. Their physical beauty and grace, coupled with exceptional courage and nobility make them an object of admiration and a source of inspiration for horse lovers everywhere,” explains Gasser.

Along with the magnificent stallions, Spanish flamenco dancers featuring authentic, vibrant costumes accompanied by the mellow notes of a guitar, bring the sights and sounds of Spain just a heartbeat away.
