I saw this show when I when I went to Florida in 2005 - FANTASTIC!!
The black stallion really brought I tear to my eye and my favourite part was when they let all the horses intio the arena at the end for a roll.
I did wonder however, if the same horses get used every night - surely it can't be good for them. ALso, what training methods d they use?
I would be interested in your views on this. Have a look!

Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and spurs excite me! |

I saw this show several years ago, and was amazed at the standard/level of horsemanship. All the riders rode without stirrups, and I was so impressed I couldnt eat my meal in time for the next course. The majority of the audience could only see the story line, but the level of horsemanship was wonderful.
At the end, all the stallions were released, loose, into the arena for a play and a roll TOGETHER!!
I was very impressed at the time. Are things different now???? |

a friend of mine went to see it when she was there on holiday and said it was awesome. I went to see Spirit of the Horse here and would't think it was as good. They definately use the same horses and do 2 shows a day.

We went to see this some years ago. It was absolutely fantastic and even my father and brother who aren't particularly horsey enjoyed it. I managed to film most of it, I re-watched it about a year ago and I'd definately go back again!
As Pat said though, it was so good I barely touched the food they provided. |

We went to see this show here only last year. While the show itself was excellent I couldn't take my mind off the whip marks I saw on the horses when they let them all loose into the arena at the end.
This spoiled it for me. |

Caroline there certainly wasnt any whip marks when I went to watch, but its a long time ago.
How very sad if they have reverted for quick fixes by bullying |

It really is a fabulous show and just shows how intelligent our beautiful arabian horses are. Maybe the ones with whip marks were the naughty ones ! I saw about four with marks but that was out of about twenty or thirty horses. You always get a few naughty ones in a bunch  |

I am dissapionted with your remarks Eden Why should anyone take a whip to a horse? Naughty? they have to perform nightly for ignorent Humans who think they should be whipped if they are naughty? I really do dispair sometimes if an arab horse is not happy he will show it,but thats no reason to take a whip and beat him if horses have been beaten at that show I will never go again, boycotting is the only way to stop these things, if you dont pay they dont have a show! |

| I second that Lyndilou. How hard must they have been whipped to leave marks? This is a very strong subject in my heart and am always against bullying tactics, even shouting at them I dislike, surely you come out with a different sort of horse when these tactics are used? |

Sadly yes, ( sorry cant call you Lude ) thats rude I am often thinking any show that uses horses or indeed any animals for the amusement of humans is wrong because they get treated badly most of the time, really we should boycott these entertainments |

| How quick you are to assume that I condone this type of treatment Lyndilou .I totally agree with what you have said and I for one will not be going to see that show again when I am next there. |

Ok Sorry Eden, it was the way you wrote it ,and I am sure you do not condone this treatment I am also sure you dont think there is such a thing as a naughty horse who deserves to be whipped just as I dont please except my apology |

Hi Lyndilou
I re read my post and yes now that I look at it it does sound bad. I'll remember to check them before posting in future.Sorry
Zan - There's no way I'd be any part of anything like that. I hate circuses too  |
