Full description
Marvel at the equestrian skills of Spanish horses and riders at a unique "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" ballet at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez de la Frontera. Accompanied by quintessential Spanish music and 18th-century style costumes, the choreography uses movements based on classical dressage, Doma Vaquera, and traditional equestrian chores. The horses carry out advanced exercises to classical music. Each show consists of 6-8 different choreographies such as "The Colts," Airs on Horseback," Pas de Deux," Passage and Piaffer," "Domino on Horseback," Airs Above the Ground" and "Fantasy." See the horses demonstrate their ability to draw carriages which were originally used for transport, but are now used for sport and exhibitions, using classical harnesses and driven by coachmen who dexterously demonstrate their skills. See classical "Haute École" dressage exercises, such as levades, caprioles, courbettes, piaffe (between pillars), and the Spanish walk. Watch the group of horses and riders perform advanced equestrian exercises in unison, providing a fitting end to the performance. The entrance into the premises is through the Visitor Reception Centre, where you will find a digital cinema where you can see a spectacular audio-visual presentation of the history of equestrian art in Andalusia, until 11:00 AM. This area leads into the gardens, which contain a great variety of exotic plants. The Palace itself rises majestically above the gardens and is a beautiful example of 19th Century architecture.  In the basement, find the Museum of Equestrian Art, which consists of 11 rooms where you will discover the origins and history of equestrian art and the horse in Andalusia. Admire the Saddlery, the place where the harnesses are made and repaired. The Carriage Museum marks the end of your journey where you will see harnesses and equestrian costumes.

This was a superb performance! My partner thought it was better than the ones she had seen in Vienna, Chantilly and Cordoba. What beautiful, well trained horses who performed very difficult and complicated maneuvers. The riders were obviously in control at all times. Very nice arena with all the accoutrements.

We transported ourselves but booked parking ahead and easy to drive in the city. Arrived for 10 am and watched training sessions while we had coffee, then the film, museum, horse show and finally the carriage museum (just off site). The whole experience was excellent and booking through GetYourGuide was the only way we could access good seats (I think tour companies and groups buy up blocks of seats so don't even bother trying to purchase direct as we did - waste of time and energy). On GetYourGuide we were able to book seats at the front of the arena for a few £s extra each and so worth it. This is a great day out - as long as you love horses!

We enjoyed the gardens and palace on the grounds, especially watching the training sessions. Our children really enjoyed the show. My son said, “I like the horse show because they did such cool moves”. The museum is overwhelming with signage and info and due to train time constraints we didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to dedicate to it, but what info we did read and videos we did watch was fascinating.
