Witness expert horsemen in flamboyant 17th century costume, training for art and battle to baroque music in the spectacular surroundings of the Riding School at Bolsover Castle. Behold breath-taking displays of horses in training as they refine the methods created by one of the great equestrian masters, William Cavendish.
Be amazed as Peter Maddison-Greenwell and the team of El Caballo de España demonstrate the dressage movements from history with commentary explaining how these classical methods are still as relevant today. Suitable for all, perfect for those with an interest in modern dressage and its heritage. Please note that photography and filming is prohibited during the displays.
