We stopped at the “Fundacion Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre” located in Jerez Spain. The equestrian School is known around the world for its “Andalusian Horse Dance” which is an amazing display of  horsemanship and horse skills. The equestrian school has been visited by the king of Spain and is considered the royal equestrian school of Spain.

We arrived and entered the arena which is fairly large. The arena is well designed and every seat is excellent for viewing the show. We settled into our seats and awaited the show.

The show started with an explanation of the  history of the horse and the interaction with man. Then there were eight horseback riders that entered the arena and began a routine with the horses.

The display of horsemanship and abilities was amazing. The horses were spectacular and very well trained completing intricate routines in perfect timing.

The rider and horse did routines that had the horses “dancing” with exaggerated steps ad jumps by the horses. After the Dancing horse routine, they did a routine with unmounted horses.

There was also a horse and buggy routine which demonstrated the precision handling of horse and buggy.

We enjoyed the show which was approximately 1 1/2 hours long. The show was unique and well worth te time to go and see.
