Dressage
At The National Featuring "Baroque Review"
In
addition to top-level competition, stunning dressage exhibition is also
a part of Dressage at the National. One of the most enthralling sights
for dressage enthusiasts, show jumping fans, and horse lovers of all
kinds last year was “The Romance of the Carousel” –
a quadrille of eight Friesian stallions. Produced by Shaana Pritchard
and Frieze Frame Friesians, this year’s theme is "The Baroque
Review,” which will showcase Lippizaners, Andalusians, Lusitanos,
as well as Friesians. The pièce de résistance will be
the all-black Friesian group called "The Stallions of Eventide"
performing an intricate quadrille pattern in the dark of night with
lights attached to their outlines, creating a dazzling effect ‘guaranteed
to bring the house down’.
