Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation

Description

The exhibition Cómo Bailan los Caballos Andaluces is an authentic equestrian ballet with purely Spanish music and 18th century costumes, set to choreographies taken from the reprisses of classical and cowboy dressage and other traditional equestrian works. In each performance there are 6 to 8 choreographies. All of them maintain the same level and spectacularity and are programmed by the Institution according to the following repertoire:

DOMA CLASSICAL

Horses performing advanced horsemanship exercises always to the beat of classical music that accompanies them in each of the activities they perform in the arena.

THE HANCHES

Horses also fulfil their mission by pulling carriages. These carriages, used in ancient times for transport, are nowadays relegated to sport and exhibitions. Suitably harnessed, they constitute a spectacle in themselves, presenting a demonstration of the role and handling of horses in this discipline.

WORK IN THE HAND

The horse also obeys its rider when dismounted and performs Alta Escuela exercises and other traditional ancient horsemanship exercises such as: Levadas, Cabriolas, Corvetas, Piaffer (between pillars), Paso Español and in Riendas Largas.

CARROUSEL

A group of horses and riders, in unison, perform advanced horsemanship exercises in the arena, as the end of this programme.
