Join us for an unforgettable family day out as Spectacle of Equitation, proudly run by Steelehorse – Understanding Horsemanship, brings its world-class equine show to Yorkshire in celebration of the Year of the Horse. Renowned for captivating audiences at prestigious UK events including The Game Fair and Blenheim Palace, this is far more than a traditional equestrian display. Spectacle of Equitation is a thrilling blend of heroic storytelling, breathtaking horsemanship, fire stunts, music, and theatrical spectacle — designed to enchant children and adults alike.
