Gala of The Royal Horses
September 22, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
$15 – $40
The Gala of The Royal Horses is coming to St. Augustine on Sunday, September 22. This event will be celebrating the traditional performances of the famous riding schools in Vienna and Spain. The show has been recreated by Riding Master René Gasser, whose family has trained these horses for seven generations.
The Royal Horses of Europe are world-famous for their performances that feature the Lipizzaner Stallions, the Spanish Andalusian, and Friesian horses, as well as the recently added quarter horse. The maneuvers executed by horse and rider show off the beauty and athleticism of the horses and the training skills of the riders.
Gasser’s recent productions in Australia have included “Lipizzaners with the Stars,” “Equestra,” and “The Horseman from Snowy River.” His new show, The Gala of The Royal Horses, will include “Airs Above the Ground,” the “Arts of Garrocha,” and “Roman Riding.”
Admission:
General admission prices are $40 for adults, $30 for seniors, and $15 for children.
VIP tickets, which include access to an open-seating VIP area and a meet and greet with performers and horses after the show, are available for $50 for adults 13 and over and $25 for kids ages 4-12.
