London International Horse Show Olympia

 Yesterday I went to an absolutely amazing event: the London International Horese Show! I bought great tickets on Groupon as I just moved to London and love horses! Taking place at the Olympia exhibition hall, you could nearly get lost in the premises! The main attractions are the huge arena, the shopping village and for those who are allowed to go in, the stables! I've gone to the amazing Andalusian show with horses and riders from the very old and famous royal school of equestrian art presented by the junta of andalucia! Absolutely amazing demonstration of Spanish passion and riding skills! Either the dressage, the typical dressed riders or the Spanish quadrille, all parts were incredible impressive. Together with touching guitar music it took me away again to Spain and one of its most honoured traditions! Here you can see a short video of the show:

After the show I really longed for seeing the horses closer! And I got lucky!! They let me have a look behind the scenes and into the stables, where I completely fell in love with the Andalusians! The crew telling me about the school in Jerez in Spain, and Juan, the head of the royal school told me that it's not only a precious city but it's also a place of tradition and interesting mixed cultural influences! They invited me to visit them in Andalusia, so I'm really looking forward to see them and the horses again in Spain! 
It was more than worth to attend that  extraordinary event! Absolutely recommendable!!
