Jerez de la Frontera: How the Andalusian Horses Dance

1. Jerez de la Frontera: How the Andalusian Horses Dance

Marvel at the equestrian skills of Spanish horses and riders at a unique "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" ballet at the Fundacion Real Escuela Andaluza Del Arte Ecuestre (Foundation Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art) in Jerez de la Frontera. Accompanied by quintessential Spanish music and 18th-century style costumes, the choreography uses movements based on classical dressage, Doma Vaquera (country-style riding), and traditional equestrian chores. Each show consists of 6-8 different choreographies, scheduled by the school according to the following repertoire: Doma Vaquera: Doma Vaquera is a Spanish riding discipline, based on traditional cattle herding. The horseman rides his horse around the arena using only one hand, first trotting and later galloping, changing the rhythm and performing pirouettes and arreones (breaking into a gallop). Classical Dressage: See different choreographies, such as “The Colts,” “Airs on Horseback,” “Pas de Deux,” “Passage and Piaffer,” “Domino on Horseback,” “Airs Above the Ground” and “Fantasy.” The horses carry out advanced exercises to classical music. Carriage Driving: Marvel as the horses demonstrate their ability to draw carriages. These horse-drawn carriages were originally used for transport, but are now relegated to sport and exhibitions, using classical harnesses and driven by coachmen who dexterously demonstrate exciting skills. Work in Hand: Admire the skill of a horse that obeys its rider even when the horseman is not in the saddle. They will carry out classical Haute École dressage exercises, such as levades, caprioles, courbettes, piaffe (between pillars), and the Spanish walk. Carrousel: See a group of horses and riders perform advanced equestrian exercises in unison, providing a fitting end to the performance.

What people are saying about Province of Cádiz, Spain

Sergio was a perfect guide! He took us to beautiful places where we could watch birds, cows and horses. The Doñana Park is home to 85 lynxes. Sergio did all his best to show them to us. Unfortunately, they were hiding, but that was only bad luck. The tour includes various activities, e.g. taking a walk at the sea, in the forest, visiting El Rocio and, the rest of the time, going on Safari. We recommend it very much.

It was a wonderful tour in a LandCruiser with the best guide Ramon. He has a lot of knowledge about biology, ecology and nature management which he shared with us. He knows everything about Parque Nacional de Doñana and tells you whatever you want to know. He speaks fluent English and Spanish.

A really lovely excursion with a very friendly skipper who let us bring our dog too!! English audio of what you were looking at. Delicious prawns and white wine. Highly recommend.

A nice experience, even if it is a bit far, but all in all it was worth it. The palace is truly beautiful. All perfect!

Great guide, saw very nice places and learned a lot.
