Wonderful skill on display from horses and riders - 45 minutes, then break with a further 30 minutes. Get there in time to walk around the palace and gardens. There’s a fabulous gift shop, bar and cafe. A great afternoon out with these magnificent horses. But no photos allowed!
Excellent show, beautiful horses
This show is truly worth the detour. However, it is necessary to arrive a bit early because there is no parking available directly nearby.
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires; ils seront certainement utiles a dàutres. Nous sommes ravis que le spectacle vous ait plu; cèst très motivant pour nous.
This was entertaining as well as educational, they are brilliant and totally recommend it. Horses are exceptional and very skilled riders.
It was a great experience. Only thing was that they didn’t allow photos or videos which was a bummer.
Quite a unique show experience in Jerez - would recommend if you are in the area! A few things to note: parking is difficult to find; and the ticketing/entrance process is laborious and takes a lot of time. Go early!
It is terrific what they have been able to teach these horses to do. Very entertaining. 123456789012
