I have sat on this review in my head for a long time as I've a fondness for horses and was shocked…read moreat my reaction while here watching the show. Yes, this is a place of fetishes - weird dress code, funky hats, royals self importance abounding, and indeed the most exquisite horses. The issue I had is that it was nearly like going to a circus in that the horses were so trained they no longer had the spirit I know a horse to have, sadness truly overthrew me often in the 60-90 min experience.
The grounds are amazing, tourist mobs unpalatable and if you've fear of your buses this is NOT the place for you! I looked through it in hopes if see beauty and grace but instead I saw gross volumes of people in awe of a horse being whipped so they can stand on two legs and jump like a jack rabbit...
I wish I could say 5 star or even 4 star but really I put this with bullfighting- should be stopped as it simply is inhumane!
