Favorite moment: I really liked when they brought out the huge black Fresian horse. And of course, the rearing up on the back legs. Very Lone Rangerish! @

Loved the show. Loved the history of the Lipizzans. I took my sister, who is not a horse lover and she enjoyed it too. A must see, at least once. Pictures were allowed and encouraged, flash and all. Got great photos.

Not only was the performance well done, but part of the time was spent teaching you about the technique. For someone who has never been big into horses, this was very helpful and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

This show was both entertaining and educational. I enjoyed hearing the history of the Lipizzaner Stallions as much as watching all the amazing manuevers they perform. It's great to see the bond between horse and rider both during the musical numbers and while the horses were being groomed. You could see the personality of the horse at times, like when Elvis seemed too humble to want to take a bow for a job well done!

Words cannot express the amazement that I felt when watching this great performance. The execution was flawless for both horse and rider. The animals were powerful in stature and gentle in nature. The narration was interesting and greatly appreciated. It certainly added to the pleasure of the overall performance. Pardon me if I use the words amazing and awesome, but these words, however inadequate, best describe the emotional high that I experienced during the entire performance. As my guests, I brought two friends who did not have any horsemanship experience and they were just overwhelmed at what they saw. The performance exceeded all our expectations and has given us memories that will last a lifetime. My caution to you is to pace your applause or your hands will be sore for days afterwords and your voice will be strained from cheering. Rate this one A+ for all generations and all interest levels.

Beautiful stallions, wonderful riders' costumes.
But that was the only constant entertainment in the Royal Lipizzaner Stallion show.
The narrator drones on throughout the show, with the history of the stallions, how they're trained, etc. This is normally very interesting, but there was more talk than show. The narrator's joke about a quiz fell in line with the evening's "lesson".
The horses' talents were held back, as they were walked out, one by one, to demonstrate a walk, canter and trot, then walked back. Then again with an added little kick and back. Then demonstrating the right or left or front or back leg change, while trotting in a circle.
This was most of the show. The end was a little more entertaining, with all eight horses trotting in circles, forming a pinwheel, back in a circle...though synched precision was not part of the choreography.
Too boring for kids, unless they've never seen a real live horse.

First time seeing these magnificent stallions. Our seats were great for seeing them close up and realizing just how big these animals are. Liked the various changes of uniform hats & jackets, added to the variety of each number in the show. Was surprised to see so many female riders, not that they were in any way lacking in their skills of horsemanship--just you hear that Kings & Generals used these wonderful, very special horses in war and then you see them all being ridden by females. (except one male rider).
The all black stallion was a wonderful example of horse & rider as one, and he really looked like he was dancing to the beat of the whole musical number. It added a nice bit of "spice" to the show. We did find it a little strange that they had an intermission 1 hr into the show, and then after the fifteen minute break there was one 1/2 hr. number and that was the end. Not too balanced as to when the break came. Over all we loved it, and were very glad we came.

The horses were beautiful but they were definitely the "B" team. The program was draggy. The Dutch Friesen saved the day with upbeat music and gorgeous horse to look at. I have apparently watched too many of the ads over the years that showed the Austrian school of Lipizzaners....this was not what I expected.

LOVED the show...awesome seats and all the event staff were helpful and friendly. Have to say I was super bummed because the fine print on my ticket said NO CAMERAS so I didn't bring one thinking it might be confiscated or I'd have to take it back to the car. Turns out picture taking was encouraged!

The mostly female riders were not as crisp in their movements as were the riders we saw a few years back. Also the anticipated "war kicks" fizzled to nothing. My horse lover didn't care, she loved it anyway. My music lover did not appreciate the announcer talking over the march and thought the other music was too boring for the horses.

I saw this show 2 years ago and it was horrible. I have been wanting to see them for years along with a friend w/me who teaches 4-H. We could not believe how many huge mistakes that they were making. The only thing that they were in sink were taking off their hats. We have no idea what team they sent out (they have different levels which you can read about on their website). Only a couple of them were decent riders and I am far from an expert. I was counting numerous mistakes with in the first 15 minutes and I only watch dressage on tv once in awhile. My friend couldn't believe how many mistakes they were doing on just basic dressage. If the show was good, she was planning on taking the young children she teaches. But, the group was so terrible she decided to forgo the road trip.
I recommend just buying the movie of the Miracle of the White Stallions (one of my favorite movies) by Walt Disney at Best Buy. It gave you a much better experience on the history of the white stallions and how the breed and training program managed to survive through WWII and what true dressage is supposed to look like.

Last year my son and I went to Cleveland to see these amazing animals and we were completely mesmerized by their grace, skill and agility. The trainers were equally amazing as they displayed their profound symbiotic relationship with each of these creatures. Each one was a star. Knowing that some of these horses were rescued and rehabbed made the event even more special as it was not only supremely entertaining but benevolently conscious about the horses ultimate welfare. Bravo! Will see again!
