Itinerary
Real Escuela
Admission included
Each show consists of between six and eight different choreographies, with the same degree of difficulty and entertainment value and scheduled by the school according to the following repertoire;
Doma Vaquera; a demonstration of the skills of this 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 then performing pirouettes and arreones (breaking into a gallop).
Classical dressage; 'The Colts', 'Airs on Horseback', 'Pas de Deux' "Passage and Piaffer", "Domino on Horseback", "Airs above the ground" and "Fantasy", are just a few of the coreographies which make up the repertoire of the performance. Horses carry out advanced equestrian exercises to pieces of classical music that accompany them while they perform in the arena
Carriage driving; horses also demonstrate their abilities by drawing carriages. These horse-drawn carriages were originally used for transport but are now relegated to sport and exhibitions, using classical harness and driven by coachmen, who dexterously demonstrate this exciting skill.
Work in hand; The horse also obeys its rider even when the horseman is not in the saddle by carrying out classical Haute École dressage exercises such as levades, caprioles, courbettes, piaffe (between pillars), the Spanish walk and long reins.
Carrousel; A group of horses and riders, in unison, perform advanced equestrian exercises in the arena to provide a most fitting end to the performance.

Good but not great.
The show was great. The riders and horses were very talented.
What spoiled it for me was the inability to take photos or videos in the arena.
If they simply said that you can record these at the end of the show when the performers and horses are taking a bow that would be enough.
When they announce this they state you can buy videos and grifts in the shop. This is an obvious commercial exploitation.
One lady in front of me took videos and no staff stopped her. This makes me feel even more cheated.
They need to get up to date with the 21st century.

Horses in Jerez
The dressage parts of the show are amazing and thankfully this is the majority of the show. The horses seem to be well looked after and are gently patted after their part of the show. Horses and riders are well schooled.
However, the circus part of the show left me feeling uncomfortable. The horses didn’t look to be enjoying it, some struggled and were made to repeat the action. This part of the show surely could be avoided so that just the partnership of rider and horse could be celebrated.
Operator response
thank for your feedback! We want to reassure you that all of our horses are doing great, receiving top-tier care , and are loved and well looked after both during and outside of the performance.

Show that is an absolute must-do
Very beautiful show, which lets you imagine the enormous amount of training work beforehand. Everything is superb: the presence of the riders, the performance of the horses, and the beauty of the place

Not bad for the ticket price but aimed at Spanish speakers
We hadn’t heard of the Escuela before we went but as we were in Jerez for several days it seemed like a must-do when we found out about it. We did enjoy it, but were disappointed at the lack of explanation of what the horses were doing in any language other than Spanish. As non-riders we would probably have got more out of the performances if we’d understood, and hence appreciated, the technicalities of what the horses and riders were doing better. We also thought it was a bit mean-spirited not to allow photographs. Banning flash would be understandable, but no photos at all just smacks of a marketing ploy to sell you merchandise.

Simply magnificent! Pure emotion in the face of such beauty!
Very moving show. I did not expect this welling up of tears from the very first moments. Pure beauty. A very mastered art without it appearing so.

A fantastic afternoon watching such skill on display from both horse and rider!
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!
