Absolutely fantastic experience of local culture. We came with kids 8 and 10 and they absolutely loved it. Beautiful horses, great trainers and moving performance. Not a tourist trap. Be there at least 30 minutes earlier to see the stables and horses, and get the best seats. We set opposite the entry in the first row, which was perfect to get a great view of the horses. Bring cash for souvenirs and bar (no cards accepted), wish I knew that. We were there in February, so the temperature was good. The show is performed on a big roofed ring. Highly, higly recommended for everyone who would like to experience local culture, horse lovers, for every age. The show is 1.5hrs, just enough. Very moving, ssomething you wont forget.

Dear Sir or Madam. The best experience ever. We would like to thank everyone, who made such a fantastic event possible. It will stick in our memory forever. Also if you can speak to the Horses please thank them from my Wife and I. Kind Regards. Mr Elvet Owen Williams. UK.
