Wonderful experience - It was a wonderful experience and almost brought tears to my eyes. It is a true horsemanship art performance between the horses and mankind. Highly recommended!

Horse and rider fusion! - It is a unique show that you cannot miss! The complicity of the rider with his horse is impressive! At certain specific moments, the riders and horses also combine with flamenco dances. Highly recommended!

Stunning show. - We prebooked our tickets in the U.K. for the evening show and thought it brilliant..beautiful horses, great riding skills and some fiery flamenco.Absolutely no photography on the evening,but if you go down a couple of afternoons before and show your booking you can watch practicing for free and have a look at the stables and horses.
Your booking ticket will be swapped for an official ticket about 20 minutes before the show starts with your nominated seats.No drink to be brought in, but there is a short interlude when these can be purchased…

Art&Show - It is a hallmark of the city of Córdoba and its culture.
The Spanish breed and flamenco horse show are a pairing that cannot be missed if you visit the city.

Good show - Interesting show. Long wait to get in especially with assigned seats. Didn’t understand the delay. The music was a bit repetitive and annoying sometimes, but the talented riders, horses, and dancers was enjoyable.

Lovely Horses - Trained to dance and do tricks. - Undoubtedly skilfully performed and the horses were beautifully turned out, however we came away surprisingly unsettled by some of the elements of the performance. Elements were excellent and had horses being ridden, other parts were more akin to circus tricks, ie horses standing on hindlegs to order. Probably our fault for not researching in more detail prior to attending but both agreed that while interesting, it's not something we would want to do again and we did feel somewhat sorry for the horses being trained to perform.

Go if you don‘t care for the welfare of animals - So sad to watch the horses being whipped, their ears back the whole time, standing on hind legs. We actually felt terrible for watching the spectacle and left the show.

animal abuse. difficult to watch - the music and clapping was way too loud for the animals, they looked uncomfortable and tense. they were whipped way too hard when unable to do a skill and also when doing skills correctly and they had to wear cruppers. during the performance my daughters both cried because they could not keep watching the horses being abused. i am ashamed to have given this company my money.
