If all things equestrian is your thing we have a competition you’re definitely
not going to want to miss!
Be prepared to be amazed at Apassionata ‘the
greatest horse spectacular in the world’ at The NEC
Arena on Saturday 8 January. Come
and witness a beautiful, exciting and truly breathtaking equestrian
extravaganza, Apassionata combines all the
royal breeds and features forty stallions and one mare, from some of Europe’s
most famous riding centres. This dazzling show brings you five of the royal
baroque breeds; dancing Andalusians, fiery Arabians, powerful Friesians, elegant
Lipizzaners and royal Lusitanos, demonstrating the perfect classical
horsemanship that has been the wonder of Europe for many centuries.
Apassionata promises pure entertainment for
all the family. As well as opera singers, fiery flamenco dancers, dazzling
lighting and exquisite music, this UK premiere will feature stunt riding,
classical dressage, pas de deux and quadrilles. Even the mythical horse Pegasus
makes an appearance! From Arabian desert scenes and the noble court of imperial
Vienna to Spanish cowboys performing elegant dances with their garrochas,
Apassionata demonstrates perfect collaboration
between man and horse.
The Apassionata horses are the most
beautiful examples of their breed, hailing from the top riding centres in
Europe. The Portuguese riding champion and Grand Signeur of breeding and
training, Luis Valenca, will present the Lusitanos from his ‘Centro Equestre da
Leziria Grande.’ Former Belgium Grand Prix rider, Celine Williams, who was one
of the main attractions at the Royal Windsor Show to mark the Queen’s Golden
Jubilee, rides the Lipizzaner Pegasus. The Friesians are from the Royal Register
of Netherlands, while the Andalusians come from the ‘Centro Ecuestre Artequus’
of Miguel Barrionuevo in Spain. The Arabians are ridden by the true masters of
stunt riding, Chkimbo and Kiki Reda from Morocco.
Classically beautiful, powerful, majestic and totally awe-inspiring,
Apassionata is passionate about horses – and
is the greatest horse spectacular in the world.
