Reading some of the past reviews, I agree with the reviewer who commented on how unhappy the horses were. I, too, saw the body language of some very annoyed & troubled equines. You just don't see that in Cavalia or Odyseeo... the horses in those performances are very well loved, & are actually treated more as family & fellow performers than Apassionata's forced tricks.
This was just a horse show, having none of the magic creativity that Cavalia has. If anyone has witnessed Cavalia, or their newer show, Odysseo, you would be extremely disappointed in Apassionata.
The show was nice, but not for this price of admission. For the novice horseman, it was probably exciting.
Usually you don't see horses without riders but there were a number who had no rider, no saddle, no bridle showing what beautiful animals they are. Some were also independent and didn't want to go back behind the curtain. The dressage numbers were amazing, especially the draft horse. The mule was comedic and the miniature horses cute. The Friesans were gorgeous and the Icelandic ponies different when it came to the mane. The daredevil riders were absolutely amazing. They had to be afraid but didn't show it. Overall, if you love to see horses of every kind in action (and some free) I would definitely go see it.
I loved this show and I would recommend anyone who loves horses to go and see it! I had to take a little bit of travel to get there since I live in NYC, and it was totally worth it. It's amazing to see how the dancers and the riders interact with the horses in perfect harmony. You won't regret it!
I was a little disappointed in the show. It seemed the trailer for the show showed more than what the show actually had. I expected to see a little more acts with the horses running free. There seemed to be a lot of "dressage" more than anything. However, on the up note - the stunt riding at the end was exciting. I enjoyed the comedy acts.
Great Performance! Awesome daredevil riders. I would definetley reccomend this event to my friends, whether you are a horsey person or not this is a great show!
Took my horse-crazy teenage daughter to see this show. I think I loved it every bit as much as she did. Beautiful music, dancing, and horses...and an adorable donkey! I understand the show is not continuing due to financial concerns in Europe. I hope they are able to overcome these problems and return in the near future.
I cannot believe I paid for these tickets! There was mistake after mistake during the performance that I attended. It is a shame too because it looks like there is a lot of potential for this show. Unlike many other traveling shows there was no cringe worthy riding, but the fact that the show was so unpolished was a big downer. I know that working with horses can be tough so I had assumed that mistakes would happen, but I was not expecting it to feel more like a dress rehearsal than a performance. I hope that they will get better with every performance, but I would not recommended spending $50 for a ticket on this event.
It was beautifully done. They held your attention and was very artful.
