It’s even further away than the hugely popular Cirque de Soleil from the traditional circus medium, a leap into entertainment that embodies a deeply satisfying instinct, the love of man for horse. Here, the horses run free, they play and perform, they have an eye-to-eye relationship with their trainers. And if the show is magical, it is also deeply moving. Houston event coming January 31st.
