The Company

The First Equestrian Theatre is dedicated to

the furtherance of classical dressage as

an artform, through theatre.

Telling creative stories and bringing

history to life through horses.

Its performances will celebrate Classical Riding

in all its forms, from its history to today.

There is nothing more magical than beautiful

horses performing in harmony.

The show season begins with regular weekend

performances starting in September 2022.

The first full length spectacular show

"The Horse of Spain" runs from September till

December when we will be bringing you the

Christmas Special.

at White Horse Farm Equestrian Centre, set in the

beautiful village of Harvel in Kent, owned and
