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.
