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.

What people are saying about Andalusia

The horse show plus the carriage and costume museums and access to the stables is wonderful. However, Get your guide asked us to assemble at 9.50 at some random spot opposite a petrol station, 3 mins walk from the horse show entrance, indicated on Google maps by a dropped pin. The pin is in the wrong place. (We even questioned this via their chat and were assured that the info was correct) Needless to say, there was no one there to meet us and we made our way to the entrance. At the agency window our mobile phone GYG app qr code was exchanged for tickets (no problem). The instructions from GYG are overly complicated. Just turn up at the entrance, show them the code and away you go.

Amazing show such beautiful horses and talented elegant riders. The flamenco dancer was fabulous. Well worth a visit. Enquire before booking.. It didn't appear to be wheelchair accessible as the seating is up steps. We did see 2 spaces on the ground floor with a cut out in the wall?

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.
