Bareback riders, acrobatics, pinpoint dressage, colourful costumes, gorgeous movement and a herd of admirable beasts, mean that it isn’t a horse show in its traditional mould – Apassionata is pure entertainment.

Watching these beautiful animals up-close is a spell-binding experience. Audacious Cossacks demonstrate fine horsemanship, in addition to nerves of steel, as they spin themselves around their steeds, grazing the surface of the sand. Expert riders guide their horses in complex, mesmeric patterns across the arena, and trainers convince their horses to jump, from standing, high into the air. This is all backed up by music, lights and secondary performers including dancers, a bull fighter, and an unforgettable comic donkey. (Taken from www.londontown.com)
