The ONLY place you can see some of Britains top Working Equitation riders take a walk on the magical side is at the Festival of the Iberian Horse. Their signature, statement piece in the LED lights innovated and choreographed by TEAMGB Chef D'equipe Georgia Shone has been produced exclusively for us since 2017. For the 10th anniversary show, the bar is being raised to a truly unique, never seen anywhere in the world level, in a state of the art piece of magic. In 2022, "the LED Lusitanos" joined with Frederic and Magali in the middle of one of their acts, weaving their way around beautiful Olive trees, (from Urban Plants Exeter) carrying lit up varas. It was a truly inspirational and magnetic equine performance. Mesmerising, innovative and such quality horsemanship from these British riders - Holly Barber riding Lusitano Exparta D'Atela, Lynne Macleod riding Lusitano Hermes and Tamsin Devonport riding Lusitano Cereja. This year's riders will be confirmed later in the year.

The Parade is designed to give a sense of the flavour of the World Famous Golega Fair in Portugal, or a Fiesta in Spain. Flamboyance is key as riders compete to be chosen as the Best Spanish and Portuguese Parade horse. You can expect to see some in traditional costumes, others riding in very moden English bling (riders in English are not eligible for the main prizes). As well as the judges favourite, the audience will be invited to vote for their favourite horse (see the slips in your programme where you can also choose your favourite daytime horse and trade stand). We have some incredible professional riders joining us to parade, each one to be be introduced indvidually with a spotlight, and showing their very best moves as a group and indivually, With horses, music, lights and action, you willl be transported to the Iberian peninsula and beyond! Grab a sangria and get ready for some Iberian inspiration
