Following in the family footsteps of seven generations, Rene Gasser, producer of the Royal Horses, has recreated a show for this tour much like the famous riding schools in Vienna and Spain.
Gasser has previously produced ‘Lipizzaners with the Stars’ The Gassers are an old Swiss circus family. Rene inherited seven generations of circus tradition. In his career, he has worked as a lion trainer, acrobat, gymnast, and strongman, as well as horse trainer, among other acts.
His current show showcases four breeds and their service to man during the ancient wars.
The Gala of The Royal Horses will feature a number of performances involving the Andalusian, Friesian, Lipizzaner and Arabian breeds and the event is dedicated to showing off the amazing beauty and maneuvers these horses are capable of including the maneuvers once used on the battlefield now known as “The Airs Above The Ground.”
“The unique qualities of the Royal Horses single them out from all other breeds in the Equine world. Their physical beauty & grace, coupled with exceptional courage and nobility make them an object of admiration and a source of inspiration for horse lovers everywhere,” Gasser said in a news release.
Along with the magnificent stallions, Spanish flamenco dancers will feature in authentic vibrant costumes accompanied by the mellow notes of a guitar to bring the sights and sounds of Spain a heartbeat away.
“We’re going to have horses dancing alongside some tremendous flamenco dancers, and I think people are really going to be excited about watching this,” Gasser said.
