For Valentine’s Day, I gave SK tickets to the Saturday evening show of Cavalia. If you are not familiar with the show, this is how their website describes it:
For the first time on stage, the equestrian arts are infused with unprecedented magic and emotion in Cavalia, an innovative multimedia extravaganza.
Homage to the poignant history and fascinating bond between human beings and horses, Cavalia is a poem written in the language of sound, image and extraordinary performance.
Blending dramatic visual effects, live music, dance and acrobatics with the bold presence of over thirty magnificent horses - including the incredible Lusitanian stallions - Cavalia raises the bar for spectacular entertainment in the 21st century.
The show was fantastic! To be honest, I have extremely high expectations going into the show (because I’d seen several expert horse trainers during my stint as a goat farmer/horse handler) and expected to be disappointed. But, wow-oh-wow, did the show blow me away. The sets were incredible, the music was wonderful and the horses were simply magnificent. This week was actually supposed to be the end of the run here, but it was in such high demand that it was held over for two more weeks. I highly recommend it!
Sunday we met some friends for lunch at Johnny Carinos and then headed to spend some time with SK’s parents. The weather predicted thunderstorms, but the day turned out to be gorgeous. With such great weather, we took the boat out to soak up some sunshine. I’ll never understand the overwhelming calm that envelops me when I am near water, but I am thankful for it.
This weekend was amazing, and again I am reminded of how truly blessed I am in my life.

Thanks for dropping by my site and leaving a comment. It’s nice to get feedback, especially when it’s positive.
This show sounds really cool. Are there any pictures? or videos?

Tars - No amount of bribery would work!
Jeffrey - Thanks
Sadly, they don’t allow cameras, so they only images are the ones on their site. They do sell a DVD, but we didn’t buy it.

For more great photos of Cavalia check out Karen Turvey’s blog and Lynn Glaser’s photo link. Karen was the quarter horse trainer and a performer from May 2003 to Jan 2005 for Cavalia when they started the show. Check it out.
